Read an excerpt from "The Lincoln Highway"

Many of our Facebook fans have told us how much they loved A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles.

And so we’re hoping this post — an excerpt of The Lincoln Highway, Towles's latest release — will be exactly the midday/midweek pick-me-up they needed.

The Lincoln Highway is the story of three boys, formerly inhabitants of a juvenile work farm, who take a ten-day cross-country road trip in 1954.

The book, which came out yesterday, is faring well on the Amazon sale charts and in critical reviews.
