in the past month i've read two AMAZING books about hitchhiking

Under The Skin by Michel Faber

i won't even start to explain my love for the book Under the Skin.....it is nothing at like the movie....but covers the same basic plot and very much covers the basic feeling and questions....what is empathy? what is body image? and what does it mean to be human?

i really don't want to get much into it...because i seriously what all of you to read this book....and then someone please pm me....i need to talk with anyone about this material

as you know i LOVED the movie....the book....well of course it's better....but i'm glad i read it after seeing the film....and you can see the film and have almost zero spoilers for the book....which is great cause the book is a real nail biter

the author very slyly changes the readers perception several times throughout the book and tackles social subjects in a very interesting way

please read this book....you will not regret it

and then i finished today

Carsick: John Waters Hitchhikes Across America by John Waters

talk about a huge switch

basically it's a gonzo novel about John Waters at age 66 hitchhiking from Baltimore to San Fransisco

this book is really three novellas.....The Best That Could Happen, The Worst That Could Happen, The Real Thing

all three are hilarious and...well two have heart wrenching parts

again i don't wnat to get much into it....cause i really hope those of you who would read this do....and soon

but i will say it's a quick roller coaster of a book that includes but is not limited to....anal sex with aliens, giving a hand job while in a demolition derby, a run in with Paula Baniszewski (she was the daughter of Gertrude Baniszewski and back in the 60s she...along with her mother, siblings, uncle and several boys from their neighborhood tortured and killed a 16 year old girl name Sylvia Likens), a serial killer who only kills cult movie directors, and an absolutely tear jerker of a chapter for Edith Massey

and then we get to The Real Thing.....which as entertaining and really shows that there are true and wonderful people still out there

i will say this i hitchhiked from Baltimore to Minneapolis.....and had a much harder time than he did.....must be nice to be a celebrity....even if it is the Pope of Filth
