"You see, I don't believe that libraries should be drab places where people sit in silence, and that's been the main reason for our policy of employing wild animals as librarians."--Monty Python

STAFF PICKS--The Routes of Man: Travels in the Paved World

Valerie's Pick:  The Routes of Man:  Travels in the Paved World, by Ted Conover

Conover reveals the highway as common social territory, particularly as the meeting place between men and women.  His travels take him from Peru's illegal jungle logging camps, to the Himalayan frontier of Kashmir and through Israeli checkpoints in Palestine's West Bank.  His writing is so evocative that the reader definitely has a "you are there experience."
