A book mostly about this activity describes vineyard proprietor Pierangelo Masucci changing his name to Pete Marvin, as well as the devout Adventist Arthur O. Bakke’s (“BAH-kee’s”) desire to be a missionary in El Salvador. After losing a teaching job and a relationship with a Cherokee woman, William Least Heat-Moon wrote about doing this activity with Ghost Dancing. A book describing this non-title activity, which includes philosophical (*) Chautauquas (“chah-TAH-kwuhs”), aims to articulate a “metaphysics of quality” by describing John and Sylvia’s approach to the title activity. A novel featuring conversations with a poodle in Rocinante (“ro-see-NAHN-tay”) is named for this activity, the central non-title activity of Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Robert Pirsig. For 10 points, name this activity done by John Steinbeck with Charley to “rediscover the country.” ■END■
