Potatoes On The Moon: I Spent a Week Probing the Alien Landscape of Idaho
By: Jim Goad
Thought Catalog Books (July 22, 2015)

Come and take a quick tour of Idaho with writer Jim Goad. Goad goes to Idaho for the same reason his writing shines: It’s different. Idaho is different, but there are tons of people ruining the place. All we can hope is that when Goad goes back to Idaho one day, that he will write about it again.

Two of my favorite quotes:

I refer to such snotty, fart-sniffing posturing as “urban supremacy.” It is one of the most enduring yet ignored forms of bigotry not only in America, but across the globe—this seemingly irreparable divide between urban and rural culture. The two groups might as well be different races.

There are some places so beautiful that just being there feels like falling in love. The further this road stretches away from anything man made, the prettier everything gets. Little cotton-ball clouds cling to the green hills when we arrive at our cabin near dusk.
