Review: The Road Most Traveled
The Road Most Traveled by Chuck Ragan
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Short pieces from road warriors, mostly indie rockers, about life on the road. Each authored their own vignette. Very few decided to go in for the salacious or extrene. Instead, most waxed philosophic along the lines of The Golden Rule and keeping priorities straight while not getting distracted by minor annoyances. This ends up making the points of view mildly repetitive, but taken in small doses, this collection is enjoyable, even enlightening. It is interesting to see how from vans to busses, they all end up with a Stoic to sanguine philosophy from [b:The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius|1920125|The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius|George Long|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1190334670s/1920125.jpg|1922271] to [b:Don't Sweat the Small Stuff ... and it's all small stuff: Simple Ways to Keep the Little Things from Taking Over Your Life|170548|Don't Sweat the Small Stuff ... and it's all small stuff Simple Ways to Keep the Little Things from Taking Over Your Life|Richard Carlson|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172378911s/170548.jpg|164688].
