The reading club features a new recommendation from Childers each month, starting with Jack Kerouac’s “On The Road” - for which his current tour is named.
In a recent interview with GQ, Childers spoke of his appreciation of Kerouac's classic novel, which follows two friends on a road trip in search of freedom in 1940s America; the two encounter jazz, poetry, and drugs as the open road offers an escape from convention.
"Kerouac was my first real permission slip to be a spiritual wanderer," said Childers.
