Here’s a list of all the books mentioned in this episode, complete with an Amazon buy link and quotes from the episode.
The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy
Buy on Amazon"By the way, can we shout out that great book that a lot of this is called from, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy? No, what great book?"
Carsick
Buy on Amazon"For me, John Waters is a pretty fun one because he hitchhiked and enjoyed it as a kid and then eventually wrote a book. He hitchhiked as a 68-year-old grown man in 2013 from his home in Baltimore to his other home in San Francisco and wrote a book about it called 'John Waters Hitchhikes Across America.'"
On the Road
Buy on Amazon"Whether it's obviously Jack Kerouac's On the Road is a big one, or Tom Robbins even Cowgirls Get the Blues. The Gus Van Sant movie, the main character was born with an abnormally large thumb, so she obviously had a talent as a hitchhiker, and that's kind of one of the subplots of the book and film, right?"
