When a road trip seems interminable

My husband listens to talk radio, my brother-in-law books on tape.
How to otherwise engage them on our next drive to New York? Sandy Wood and Kara Kovalchik may have the answer: their Frequently Asked Questions for the "curious-minded.''
"The Complete Idiot's Guide® to Fun FAQs'' includes more than a thousand questions on subjects ranging from food and celebrities to myths and team sports.
It's available on Amazon for $11.01.
While I can't imagine besting my travelmates on American history or movie questions, it might be fun trying.
