Which road is the road to Oz? Dorothy finds out in this fifth book of the Oz series, when she tries to help a stranger with directions and wanders far from home, losing her way. She journeys with the Shaggy Man, whose "love magnet" helps out here and there as they encounter various adventures with King Dox, the City of Beasts, the Musicker, the Scoodlers, Johnny Doit, the Deadly Desert and more. And since all roads seem to lead to Oz, anyway (at least for Dorothy!) that's just where they end up, in plenty of time for the birthday party of its well-loved leader, the beautiful young Ozma. L. Frank Baum brings all kinds of characters back from the previous books, and introduces some new ones, for this grand affair.This book includes illustrations, an active table of contents and a free audiobook link for download (which could be downloaded separately using a PC/Mac) at the end of the book.

The Road is an autobiographical memoir by Jack London, first published in 1907. It is London's account of his experiences as a hobo in the 1890s, during the worst economic depression the United States had experienced up to that time. He describes his experiences hopping freight trains, "holding down" a train when the crew is trying to throw him off, begging for food and money, and making up extraordinary stories to fool the police. He also tells of the thirty days that he spent in the Erie County Penitentiary, which he described as a place of "unprintable horrors," after being "pinched" (arrested) for vagrancy. In addition, he recounts his time with Kelly's Army, which he joined up with in Wyoming and remained with until its dissolution at the Mississippi River.
