To Shake the Sleeping Self

I keep some books simply because I enjoyed the trip, and To Shake the Sleeping Self earns its place that way. Jedidiah Jenkins rides a bicycle from Oregon to Patagonia and uses the long road to think about fear, faith, purpose, and change. I like that travel does not magically answer every question for him. It does make those questions harder to avoid when the next hill keeps arriving. Anyone thinking about a new direction may recognize the mix of courage and foolishness in the story. Sometimes movement helps, and sometimes it just gives the question better scenery.
