Road Trip Books

I'm getting ready for the big September road trip: Bridgeville, PA to Salt Lake City, UT. While driving across the prairie I'll be listening to audio books. I'm looking for titles with a lively pace: no falling asleep at the wheel for me. Anyone have some good suggestions? I'm currently listening to Home to Holly Springs and plan to take along at least one other Karon book on CD. Children's books are OK, too, since it would fall under the heading of professional development.

The big event in Salt Lake City is the American Library Association Service to Children (ALSC) Institute. On the way home to Pennsylvania I'll be stopping to visit family in southwest Nebraska. Then on to the Iowa/Missouri border to visit the hometowns of my great-great grandparents. Maybe a stop in Nebraska City to see what the Arbor Day Society is up to.

Small town libraries and mom and pop restaurants that feature homemade pies are on the itinerary.
