Bohemian Bum, Hippie Hobo, traveler within the American illusion of freedom. Thumb Flagging is a story of hitchin’ cross country, jumpin’ trains and hoping for the thousand dollar ride. Willy is the worldly philosopher with seemingly no roots, free and ready to hit the road. Jay is the innocent; tentative and afraid, insecure and easily led. Willy talks Jay into dumping their jobs for a few day and heading from sunny Arizona to visit Jay’s sister in Colorado, an easy trip unless your thumb flagging. Jay reluctantly agrees to the adventure and enters an entirely new world; the world of the footloose and free Bohemian Bum. Yes, this is a story about hitchhiking, but it is more as well. It’s about one man’s growth, it’s about philosophy, it’s about psychology and sociology, and ultimately, it’s a love story. Peterson is able to wrap in about every human emotion and deal with them realistically. Jay starts out as the reluctant and fearful traveler and finishes his personal journey as king of the road. You see his strength and confidence build and feel him develop and confirm his morals and sense of place, all while friends, enemies and chance acquaintances spin in and out of his life. That’s the story of the road, a story that crisscrosses the country from Arizona to Colorado then California and all the way to Main and back. What made the story most interesting to me was the cross section of society Jay encounters. We all have our impressions and prejudices when we see a thumb flagger. And, though our preconceived notions may be right or way wrong, this book takes you in an entirely different direction. It isn’t the hitcher that’s interesting; it’s the people that are compelled to pick them up. The sad, the disaffected, the do-gooders and the crazies, when a car stops you never know what you’ll get. And when you get that “thousand dollar ride,” it’s all worthwhile. This is an interesting read, well written and a story with many lessons if you will let them in.

Set in Doncaster in the Seventies, this book is in the great tradition of the It's Grim Up North school, where gritty kitchen sink dramas ground people's noses into the squalour. Jack Carter, eponymous anti-hero of this novel, likes to literally grind people's noses into the sink, or anywhere else handy, in an effort to find out who killed his brother. Refreshingly utterly non-PC, Jack flits around the town back-handing women (because they like it, secretly), being handy with a shooter, remarking occasionally on the multi-culturalism of the area and kicking people around working men's clubs. The pace never lets up as Jack stalks his prey, following the clues and false trails until he catches up with all of them. Despite having seen the movie with Michael Caine several times, I didn't picture him as the lead as I read this novel. Perhaps it's because Caine is a Londoner while the tone of this novel was so unremittingly Northern that a Cockney wide-boy, no matter how hard, would stand out like a Chihuahua at a dog track. I read this book in a day, and it's very few that I can say that about. Excellent stuff.

This book was meant to be about Christopher McCandless, a young man who leaves all in search of ? We never really find out - but the author seems to meandre all over the place with other stories of young men who leave all .... found it a bit tedious and my lasting impression of the book was how sorry i felt for Christopher's family.

Close to the trudging end. Not sure I'll persevere. Good idea, just not compelling enough writing. Update... very disappointing. Too light and not much there after so many pages. :(

Asking me which are the best 50 books I’ve ever read, Illiad and Odysse will be definatly two of them I name,… books I don’t get tired to read again and again. ایلیاد و اودیسه پس از این همه قرن که از سروده شدنشان گذشته، هم چنان خواندنی اند و میزان فروش چاپ ها و ترجمه های تازه شان به زبان های اروپایی رقیب پر فروش ترین آثار، نظیر آثار شکسپیر اند. وسعت واژه های بکار گرفته شده و زیبایی روایت این دو اثر، چنان است که خواننده هرگز زشتی جنگ و وقایع نامبارک را آن چنان که هستند، احساس نمی کند. در مورد این دو اثر هم مانند آثار شکسپیر، بسیار گفتگو شده و از آن جمله گفته اند که نویسنده یا شاعر این دو اثر یک نفر نبوده و گاه حدس زده اند که ایلیاد مجموعه ی اشعار چند شاعر است. ایلیاد تنها بخشی کوچکی از جنگ "تروا" را در بر می گیرد و نه همه ی ده سال محاصره و فتح شهر را. و اودیسه شرح ماجراهای بازگشت "اودیسئوس" نزد زن و فرزندش، از تروا به "ایتاکا"، مرکز پادشاهی اوست و گرفتاری های او بر سر راه و آنچه بر سر زن و فرزندش در ایتاکا می آید. هر دوی این آثار توسط سعید نفیسی به فارسی برگردانده شده و اولین چاپ آنها در 1337 توسط انتشارات علمی و فرهنگی منتشر شده است، که تاکنون باید به چاپ نهم یا دهم رسیده باشد.

From the first page to the last, I was captivated. There is something about these characters that you gravitate to. Great read!
