I like william Least Heat-Moon. I found the idea of this book interesting, but I found it a little teadious to read.

This account of an Atlantic-to-Pacific voyage over American waterways would have benefitted from some trimming. Overlong, festooned with ten-dollar words where fify-centers would have served as well, it's a mildly interesting read.

I'm not a real fan of travelogues but the humor and personalities of this book are charming. A must read for anyone interested in the breadth, freedom and joy of America.
