Must read list for road trips.

[stanley1883]

Looking for some suggestions. My wife and I are on a road trip from Phoenix to San Diego, to San Fran, to Portland and finally to Seattle (where I have a job interview, wish me luck )

 

As there will be several hours on the road, I was looking for suggestions on what titles to read to best pass the time.

 

I finished Spider-Verse and will be reading the Detective Comics run from New 52, really looking forward to when Manapul took over. Wife is reading Gail Simone, Secret Six, WW, we both finished her Batgirl run which was epic btw.

 

Looking for other suggestions. Thanks!

Who is driving?

[Hekla]

I travel a lot & always take TPBs to read. I found that I go thru moderns pretty fast, so I take older collections (typically take longer to read) along so that I'm carrying fewer books. One I read a few months ago on a particularly long trip was Daredevil Visionaries: Frank Miller, Vol. 2 (issues 168-182). It took several days to read.

I cant read comics in a car or plane.

Besides that, isn't it a bit rude to be reading while your companion drives?

Try conversating. Will you be going via the Pacific Coast Highway? That's far too spectacular a ride to have your head buried in a book.

If not in a rush, take Route 66. At least from Kingman to the Cali state line. It will add an hour or so to your trip but the road from Kingman to Oatman over the Black Mountains is

breath-taking.

I always have trouble reading in a passenger seat of a car for some reason. Can't get into it.

Conversating?

 

Comfortable silence is one of the things I like about being married. It's not a first date folks.

[Phantalien]

I need good music to listen to whenever I drive anywhere for a long distance. Get some good music!

[stanley1883]

We have an understanding that allows the other to read during insanely long stretches on the same road. We converse along the way and listen to music as well.

still doesn't compare to L+R IMHO

[slym2none]

For the love of...

 

"Conversate" is not a word. If one is in a conversation, then one is conversing.

 

:doh:

I've had this in my cart on Amazon since you suggested it. I was going to order it following the holidays, but I got distracted. I need to get it done one of these days.

conversate

Unfortunately to all of the educated people conversate is now in the dictionary.

 

v. to socialize and chat; to converse with another

 

It is still classified as slang, but it is in the dictionary. Trust me I'm just as upset as you are.

We can sit here and conversate about some things.

That's as bad as when they recently added the definition of "figuratively" to the word "literally" because so many people were using it incorrectly.

 

People should be educated to use proper English. The language shouldn't be dragged down to the lowest common denominator.

living in the south for many years, conversate or conversating was often used by people along with "fixin' to" -- more of a tongue in cheek thing though. At first you laugh at it-- and then eventually you add it to your vocabulary
