Buddha on the Bus
Nate Damm shares a short travel story that takes place on a bus ride from Denver, Colorado to northern Idaho. When various complications arise during the journey, Nate finds himself focusing closely on the characters around him for a bit of entertainment, but ends up getting more than he bargained for. The focal point of the story is Nate's seat-mate, a young man named Bud, whose extremely odd behavior catches the attention of everyone on the bus.

Are You Buddha?
While this is one of the shortest books I've ever read, it's also one of the best. Everyone has something left to learn in their life and you never know when or where or even how it will come to you. But be open and watchful and when you run into that strange, weird person; maybe listen to what he's saying, what he's doing and remember, have patience and at least it's not a Greyhound.

A light funny read
Sometimes a light funny read is not a bad idea. The story of Nate is one which we all feel or experience in our daily life some way or the other. The author describes this beautifully. I was hooked to the story and finished it in couple of sitting. Great anecdote bro!!!

Hilarious!
The book is easy to read and the content is so vividly presented you could actually feel like you were sitting in the bus. And the lessons on what really matter in life are deep. Thanks so much Nate.

The positive bus ride of a hitch hiker.
Four stars for being entertaining and staying positive in negative circumstances.I like riding the dog myself I know exactly where he was coming from a short story to make you think life is good.

Interesting
Sometimes we meet strange people who will change our view point about life. This story tells about 2 such persons. Worth reading.

A Fun Read
Well written and a fun read. Towards the end of the story there’s a section that doesn’t sit well with me, but I can’t say more without being a spoiler.

As someone who traveled frequently by bus in my youth, I found this story to be very relatable, even though my youth and the author's are decades apart. A funny and poignant story.

free? at current time of writing (5 March 2015) this short travel anecdote is listed as free on Amazon.com
http://www.amazon.com/Buddha-Bus-Nate...
for its price point, it's an skilful written anecdote of 31 pages; 4/5 solid. I don't know if it would be necessarily worth actual cash money.

A funny story, a few good things to learn about how we look at life and how we should actually. I wish i meet someone like Bud someday or more be like him.

A quick, light read that I wasn't sure whether was fiction or non. It's a reminder on why I gave up the Big Grey Dog, although I never had the "pleasure" of riding with Bud.
