Download As PDF : The Highway Grey Travels In Psychology Women and Guitars eBook Charles Southall 
There's a loner flying the highways. Young Grey rips up the road with coffee in tow, from town to town operating his business and enjoying the lifestyle of buying and reselling, music, women on the road, and laughing at life's Dumbasses. He's about to meet Cassie who crashes into him the only way one-in-a-million can. In this tale, the wild song of romance wants to blossom through so many barriers, but who would want to give up such a sweet ride? Grey's story is a comical circuit around the states and his experiences are given to the explanatory edge of pop psychology along with the stark inner sexual thoughts of a modern man, which strikes uniquely honest chords. From barroom to bedroom, the story features poignant angles of life, mental health, alcohol, drugs, and love in a postmodern world told in a fresh comedic outlook that will leave you LOL.
Excerpt
“To people who've fucked us! We love them and we hate them. It never feels good the day after.” The bartender brought me my ale, and I raised it up, taking a swig. I paid the man. I was surprised that the interaction went as well as it did. She crossed her legs in her miniskirt. I'd have to remember that toast To those who have fucked us. Maybe next time I would add something eloquent.
“Alright then, bottoms up. Fuck 'em!” I said to the girl.
“That's right, fuck'em.” She had the empathy of a drunk parrot and the emotional center of an iceberg. I imagined her stumbling drunk out of a frat house in the morning, walking funny all the next day.
This night would only get more twisted if I found a rebound whiskey-drinking girl. I thought I was staring at one, but she seemed more interested in Angry Birds, text messaging, and the percentage of alcohol in her blood than me. A hardened drinker, she took that whiskey down without batting a fake bejeweled eyelash. I bet that's her spot... I bet I could come here tomorrow and have this exact same conversation. I didn't get a thanks or anything. Shit, she must a pro. I was sure that the true pros in the world had a huge genetic advantage.
I looked at my phone again and turned my phone off. It wasn't going to do me any good until I was leaving Cincinnati, the god forsaken town. I had a feeling I wouldn't be back here for a long while, besides the ale was $5.00. I nursed my beer and looked back into the crowd. The clank and tap of pool balls rang out in sequences across the room, and I saw the flickering of stripes move across the slate table in one corner. Aah, I was feeling somewhat better just being around people like my lovely damsel beside me, who could swallow a whiskey shot with little consequence. We together could take life by the nut sack and make it “Tip-Toe through the Tulips.” I sat there for an hour watching the pool games until I finally saw the sound equipment being put to use.

Wow, now that I have finished reading this one I am faced with a dilemma; how to accurately convey the brilliance found amongst the rubble.The story revolves around the protagonist who has a business which involves driving from state to state, stopping in cities along the way to purchase items from pawn shops (mostly video games and guitars) which he then sells, online, as he goes. He has a proclivity for beer, babes and burgers and is an ex-psychology major who doles out little bits of insight to people he meets along the way. He is also an accomplished guitarist who enjoys playing at "open mic" events. Nothing wrong to this point, the premise is plausible, the idea somewhat unique and the underlying story strangely compelling. If I had to knock any part of this so far, it would be that the story was easily 30% longer than necessary, but somehow the author managed to pull it off.
So we move along to the reason for my two-star rating, which is simple. This book is so poorly written that it is difficult to find a page which doesn't have at least one error. Incorrect spelling, major grammatical gaffes, sentences that weren't, contradictions, incongruity, omissions, disagreement between nouns and verbs...and the list goes on and on and... It was freakin' maddening. It seemed like the author published the absolute roughest of rough drafts without the benefit of ANY proofing or editing. Therein lies the conundrum; for in the midst of this frustrating, almost incomprehensible mess resides the underlying story, one which compels the reader to push on... I always read the entirety of a book before I comment on it and, believe me, that can be a painful process. Amazingly though, every time I put this one down in disbelief over what I had just subjected myself to, I found myself inextricably drawn back to it...I just had to know how things would turn out.
For the life of me, I can't understand how an author will take the time to write a book and then not finish his work with competent proofing and editing. To me, it shows a lack of respect for oneself--not to mention for the readers and, indeed, for the creation itself. This guy really had an opportunity here and, in my opinion, he just flat out blew it. Indeed, he basically forfeited his credibility for this and any future writing he may do.
I would love to recommend this book, but in fairness to potential readers, I just can't. There is a caveat to that last statement; if you are willing to wade through a book (which is so rife with errors it's staggering) while overlooking the detritus in the hopes of finding nuggets within, you have my blessings.
The author would be best served by yanking this one, finding himself a professional editor to literally rewrite it and then have it republished. He's got nothing to lose and everything to gain by doing so.
I hated it, and in the same breath, I actually liked it. I'm just not certain that anyone with a modicum of understanding of the English language will be willing to sacrifice their sanity (as I did) to plow through this one.
