I noticed this topic was created a while ago but it was still on top. Two recent reads are worth your time. Having traveled these roads often, 'Deep South' was fascinating. The interstates have changed America in many ways. 'Deep South: Four Seasons on Back Roads' by Paul Theroux'https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/23719344-deep-southAnd this will surely make you think differently about the mind.'Incognito: The Secret Lives of the Brain' David Eaglemanhttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/9827912-incognito"The best advice I ever got was that knowledge is power and to keep reading."

Interesting. I take it the first was written, or took place before 1940?
'Deep South' was published in 2015, Theroux drives the back roads we have often driven. He visits and talks with the people. Route 301, 13, 17, 29, 331, or even Rt 61 in Mississippi. They too are changing, wider and they often bypass the towns now. Somethings have changed but much has remained the same. Change is slow and often complex. "Afoot and light-hearted I take to the open road,Healthy, free, the world before me,The long brown path before me leading wherever I choose.Henceforth I ask not good-fortune, I myself am good-fortune,Henceforth I whimper no more, postpone no more, need nothing,Done with indoor complaints, libraries, querulous criticisms,Strong and content I travel the open road."Walt Whitman 'Song of the Open Road'
