Title: Trucker's Odyssey
Review: I really enjoyed this book! Mr. Wilson lets his reader experience what it is like to drive and/or ride in an eighteen wheeler. But this book is more than a description of life on the road. Mr. Wilson makes observations about life, his and other's. He shows kindness toward the people he meets and tries to understand why they are out there,too.Mr. Wilson, like the authors of "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" and "Moby Dick" uses detailed descriptions of men performing a particular occupation to make universal observations about his beliefs and questions about life. He never gets preachy, though, and just when the writing might be getting a little bit "mystical" something happens with the "load" or the equipment and he pulls us right back into the urgency of the moment. This is a fascinating book for anyone who ever wondered what those guys inside those big trucks that whiz past us on the freeway at 3:00 am. are really like.
