This is an incomplete overview of [[hitchhiking]] in '''media'''. Please add books you read, and more.
Hitchhiking in literature:
* '''[http://www.amazon.com/Carsick-Waters-Hitchhikes-Across-America/dp/0374298637 Carsick]]'' by John Waters. 2014. A memoir of cross-country hitchhiking journey from [[Baltimore]] to [[San Francisco]]. In English.
* '''[http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0006382274?ie=UTF8&tag=hitchwiki07-21&linkCode=as2&camp=2506&creative=9310&creativeASIN=0006382274 Hitch-Hiker's Guide to Europe]''' by Ken Welsh: outdated but contains great information for Europe, North Africa, the Middle East and the "Communist countries." Was the inspiration for the title of Douglas Adams' ''Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy''. In English.
* '''[http://i2d.toile-libre.org/PDF/2010/i2d_politique_auto-stop.pdf Tôt ou tard. Politique de l’autostop ]''', Hervé Décaudin, Fabien Revard ([http://pontcerq.toile-libre.org/004%20auto-stop.htm]) Quite hilarious indeed.
== Book Reviews ==<!--<nowiki> Tip: You can Sign your reviews by writing: -~~~~</nowiki>--> ====Carsick by John Waters 2014====''Part 1, the best possible. Part 2, the worst possible. Part 3, the truth. It was a good read. I'm not extremely familiar with his work as a director, though have heard stories, and he does reference a lot of pop culture material. So it's a little hitch hiking novelty experience, a little namedropping, and a little fantasy. Beautifully short chapters dividing every ride. A book to be savored, read sparingly and daily. Enjoy!'' -Reese ====Hitch-Hiker's Guide to Europe by Ken Welsh 1994 ====''I think that the book really does some injustice to some countries. Not a source I would want to discuss when traveling to certain areas of Europe.But all the praises to first part of the book instructing all of us how to hitchhike.'' -Bojan = News articles ==
