I don't think that I have read anything by these fellows. I don't know why it's "10 Writers Every Man Should Read", other than it's a site called "MadeMan". Whatevs.
Anyway...food for thought...discuss amongst yourselves.

My Jive Comprehension score on the SAT was pretty low.

Oh what the hell, that site...

As someone who drives thousands of miles a month (not even counting work miles, which come in at about 2,000 alone), this is a fucking train wreck. I wish I could put it more elegantly, but there really is no other way to put it.

Seems most of the site is contrived, cliched horseshit to me. Though I generally distrust any "definitive" guides out of hand.

Of course I'm contrived, cliched, and mostly full of horseshit, so what do I know.

Any site claiming to present the Definitive Guide To anything is suspect right off the bat. Firm-grasp-of-the-obvious common sense advice, watered down with lame attempts at humor. As far as Classic Road Trip Routes, anyone who would choose to drive I-95 for fun is the last person I wanna get in a car with for a recreational road trip.

I wonder if it is supposed to be understood that the title should parenthetically be read as including "besides the obvious classics"... Like, oh, I don't know, Bill Shakespeare, Johnny Milton, Herman Hesse (dude, if you have not read Demian & Knulp, get thee to a library), Mark Twain, und so weit.
