2019

Route1Reads connects literature to place by highlighting a book from each of the East Coast states/commonwealths that can be traveled by US Route 1, the longest north-south road in the United States. This collaborative project among the East Coast State Centers for the Book includes subjects and genres that span everything from good eats and medical histories, to travelogues and mysteries.

This year’s theme is: Cookbooks. Pennsylvania’s 2019 Route1Reads pick is The Cheesy Vegan by award-winning, Pennsylvania author and foodie, John Schlimm. With family ties to Pennsylvania's historic Straub Brewery, Schlimm adds bonus vegan cheese pairings for wine, beer, and cocktails!
