There is no road trip or outdoor adventure complete without the companionship of two things: great music and great reading. Below are books we are reading, re-reading, and hoping to read while on the road this year (and a few that we've loved along previous travels that we want to suggest to you.) If we've missed a can't miss, please feel free to make suggestions in the comments box by clicking on the article title and scrolling to the bottom. Thanks in advance for your inputs. :)
