Recommendations For Mark Allen Berryhill

I mentioned recently about the debacle that ensued when bizzaro fiction writer Mark Allen Berryhill attempted to take a greyhound bus to BizarroCon 2014. I may have suggested some more interesting ways that the universe could delay Mark beyond weather and accidents should he ever take a bus again.

This was not particularly sensitive to Mark.

As such, I thought we should do something nice for Mark.  As such, here are some recommendations for him that might sooth him from his recent stress:

- The Wayward Bus, John Steinbeck

- The Bus Driver Who Wanted To Be God & Other Stories, Etgar Keret (a bus is involved in the titular story)

- The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test, Tom Wolfe (all about Ken Kesey and his band of Merry Pranksters travelling across the country in a colorfully painted school bus named “Furthur”)

-  The Great Divorce, C. S. Lewis (a Christian allegorical tale about a bus ride from hell to heaven)

- Speed (not a book, but this movie of a bus that will explode if its speed drops to less than 50 miles per hour is too good here to pass up)

 

Well, nobody ever said I didn’t have a mean streak in my humor.
