From Goodreads:
Macon Leary is a travel writer who hates both travel and anything out of the ordinary. He is grounded by loneliness and an unwillingness to compromise his creature comforts when he meets Muriel, a deliciously peculiar dog-obedience trainer who up-ends Macon’s insular world–and thrusts him headlong into a remarkable engagement with life.

The Accidental Tourist by Anne Tyler
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

An audiobook, well presented and painfully entertaining. Some truly richly developed characters that constantly shine a light on our own. Looking forward to revisiting the movie as I don’t recall it at all. At times the very nature of the characters made it hard going but an interesting ending. Enjoy!
