I am a traveler as well. I am an entertainer and travel most of the US and Europe.

Blue Highways is a great book.

While I enjoyed his earlier work, in this new book ,(The Roads to QUOZ) he seems to want to impress the reader with his knowledge of the English language, while leaving the the reader
on the dull shoulder of the road.

I’m reading Blue Highways for my Creative Writing class and I find it interseting. I enjoy cruisin’ around on back roads and seeing new places so that might make it easier for me to follow along. La de da.. Katrina McMann says light bulb is a color and sparkle is a flavor!! <3

I am a 36 year old woman who first read Blue Highways about 15 years ago. It is one of the most beloved books in my collection and has framed my way of thinking about travel and life. With each re-read I gain more from the book and look forward toward reading the latest.
Yes, William Least Heat-Moon makes me want to hit the road! Thank you!

I was driving on Rt 128 last night alongside a huge, stainless steel illuminated-on every-rim semi tractor trailer with bluehighway.com in a mural on the back. Was that you? There appeared to be no windows and lots of bright lights. How do you possibly drive into a town anonymously?

Hello Dr. Trogdon, you taught a World Literature course at Stephens. Thank you, I am pleased that the muse continues to whisper in your ear and leads you on to write. jm

I am a 50 yr old man who read “Blue Highways” in college. Certain passages of the book have haunted me for 30 years and I finally bought the book last year and reread it. As an incurable travel bug who also enjoys the backroads, I love the stories and the history.

As a bonus I found that my current hometown, Holliston MA was mentioned in the book when he visited a site near my house.

I look forward to getting back on the road and reading the new book.

Fondly,

Brian
