Here's some propaganda: "The world of travel writing has seen some big bylines. Chaucer, Kerouac, and, of course, Kuralt. Now some might add the Monks." -- Ed Bradley, CBS TV "Jim Crotty and Michael Lane never planned to change the world. But in 1986, when they quit their jobs, bought an over-the-hill van and hit the road with two cats and a Macintosh, they began a journey that would forever alter the bounds of technology and entrepreneurialism." -- Portable Computing "Reading these guys is like watching a grainy, irreverent film about America--real, unreal, surreal." -- The Boston Globe "Forget all those travel writers you've been reading, the Monks are the real article." -- CNN "[The Monks] don't simply document a chosen city or region. They dissect it, demystify it, revel in its oddities." -- San Diego Union Tribune “Modern troubadours” -- New York Times
