Blue Highways were written by William Least Heat-Moon. It was first published in 1982. There are 10 or 11 chapters if you include the afterword chapter.

The book Travels with charley I couldn’t find and intro, prologue, afterwards and epilogue, but I found a page talking about John Steinbeck life.

When it were list it was always about places, imagery always happened when food, talking about people or places to give the readers a better picture. “I was born lost and take no pleasure in being found.”, “we find after years of struggling that we do not take trips; a trip takes
