Give me the Old 97's and John LeCarre instead.
I like road trips as much, if not more, than the next fellow, but I'm not sure I could handle a twelve-hour drive through the desert with a soundtrack of Milton, Emerson, and country music. Some years ago, I had the chance to listen to several unabridged John LeCarre novels while enjoying the federal interstate system. Alas, I take fewer road trips these days.

A problem that I had when I listened to unabridged novels while driving was that I would space out for a moment or two and miss key plot points. Paradoxically, the abridged versions were better this way. I would think that poetry like Milton's would be especially rough without undivided attention. Not sure about Douglass.
