Slow Road to San Francisco (Across the USA from Ocean to Ocean) - David Reynolds

As he moseys from east to west, driving slowly, stopping frequently he meets a huge variety of Americans - white, black, Hispanic, Asian, native American; Christian, Muslim, atheist, Mormon, Mennonite; rich, middling, poor. They talk about everything from slavery, Indian reservations, fracking and forest fires to baseball, beer, the blues, Butch Cassidy, and Marilyn Monroe.

As he travels he conjures a vivid picture of the US then and now; its landscape and its people in all their diversity
