The Long Sandy Hair of Neftoon Zamora (Unabridged) [Unabridged Fiction‪]‬

I read the book, and then downloaded the audiobook. Mr. Nesmith does such a excellent job reading his own material, that I actually got much more out of the audiobook than when I read the book myself. The story is part road adventure, part mystery, part romance, and part magical realism; and all of it works together in a wonderful way. The writing has the same feeling of ease, whimsy and sophistication as Mr. Nesmith's music (particularly the album "Tropical Campfires"). It's full of good humor, insight, and cool notions. The characters are fully-realized, and I found myself missing them after I was done listening to the book. I highly recommend Neftoon Zamora. It would be the perfect book to listen to in a car, on a long road trip through the southwest (which is exactly what the book made me want to go do).

This is not the Mike Nesmith of the Monkees...or is it? You read this & ask yourself if this didn't really happen to him or how did he come up with this stuff? I can't wait to see the movie & I hope the other boys make cameo appearances, too. He was always the smart one and my favorite. If I take a road trip out west I will keep an eye out for a 50-60 year old guy on a green Harley.
