What we're reading in the Lounge Pit

Monster of a Land, by Lauren Hough

Imagine Travels with Charley if Steinbeck was a foul-mouthed Molly Ivins and the poodle was a lovable husky mix who has ten times the heart he has brains…an American road trip on blue highways through red states, on ground as shaky as the times, in a van that's as bloodied but unbowed as the country itself.

From the author of Leaving Isn't the Hardest Thing and Badreads

“Monster of a Land is hilarious and sad, beautifully observed, brutal when it needs to be, tender, a love song, a protest song, the most profound kind of American music. There is no writer like Lauren Hough. She’s utterly brilliant.”
Elizabeth McCracken, author of A Long Game

"Lauren Hough is unafraid and unapologetic in sharing deeply personal aspects of her life, and this allows for a most refreshing and well-rounded travel memoir."—Philip Zozzaro, BookTrib
