The Lincoln Highway by Amor TowlesRead about another entry on the list.
It's June of 1954 when 18-year-old Emmet Watson is driven home to Nebraska from a juvenile work farm. Before he starts fresh in California, though, he learns that two friends from the farm have stowed away in the warden's trunk with a plan to involve him in an adventure to New York. This book has a bit of everything: wit, suspense, adventure, humor, and heart.
The Lincoln Highway is among Andrew Welsh-Huggins's five novels drawing inspiration from the Odyssey and Perri Ormont Blumberg's nine top travel books.
