Hi. I'm planning an adult fiction display to feature books dealing
with sites along Route 66. I "have" to call it: Get Your Reading
Kicks on Route 66.

So, I'm looking for suggestions that feature the sites along the way;
they don't have to be about Route 66, just feature the areas.

In case you're wondering (and I had to look this up), here is a verbal
discription of the route:

Chicago, IL
Springfield, IL
St. Louis, MO
Tulsa, OK
Oklahoma City, OK
Amarillo, TX
Santa Fe, NM
Albuquerque, NM,
Flagstaff, AZ
Los Angeles, CA

and any sites in between on the route.

Thanks for your help, and keep on truckin'. BYE!

How about Dorothy Garlock's recent "Highway 66" series, set along Route
66 during the Depression:

Hope's Highway
Mother Road (brand new this January)
Song of the Road (to be released in June)

How about Jack Kerouac's _On the Road_? It's been awhile since I read it,
but I think that parts of it take place in California and maybe some other
places (the main character left from New York, after all).

The book "In Hot Pursuit" by Suzanne Ledbetter is a novel about the
witness protection program. The cover shows a Route 66 sign.

Not sure how well this fits in with your theme, but if I recall correctly, Route 66 features prominently in Steinbeck's _The Grapes of Wrath_.
