Charles Kuralt's America (Abridged) Audiobook

" Listened to this as an audio book - outstanding! "

" Listened to this while working in my studio the last few nights. I always loved Kuralt on CBS Sunday Morning and hearing that deep, sonorous voice of his again nearly made me cry. His stories of traveling the country for a year were delicious. It is always a wonder to me that his love of the unique and the quixotic can weave such a spell you come away from his stories feeling as though what happened to him, happened to you. I loved the part about New Orleans best of all but anyone who knows me could have guessed that. A wonderful way to travel while staying home working. "

" Reading this book made me want to go visit Charleston in March, eat lobsters in August in Maine, go to Vermont in the fall and see New Mexico. That's what good travel writing is meant to do isn't it? "

" only book I ever bought on "tape", back in 1997 after he died. saw it in the library recently, so decided to read it - heard his voice the entire time I was reading it - was wonderful! "

" This is a great travelogue from someone who spent his life on the road. "

" What a wonderful tone: bittesweet, nostalgic, humorous. This was a birthday gift, but it happens that I had visited many of the places where Kuralt spends time--a geographic location for each month. A lot of fun with great characters. Americans examined in a nice clean prose style. "
