Instead of having Jeremy Irons read to me I would rather listen to Johnny Cash sing to me (if he were still alive). On page 153-154, the last paragraph of the chapter. This sections reminds me of the Cash song I've Been Everywhere.


Johnny Cash: I've Been Everywhere

"I've Been Everywhere"I was totin' my pack along the long dusty Winnemucca road,When along came a semi with a high an' canvas-covered load."If you're goin' to Winnemucca, Mack, with me you can ride."And so I climbed into the cab and then I settled down inside.He asked me if I'd seen a road with so much dust and sand.And I said, "Listen, I've traveled every road in this here land!"

[Chorus:]I've been everywhere, man.I've been everywhere, man.Crossed the desert's bare, man.I've breathed the mountain air, man.Of travel I've had my share, man.I've been everywhere.
