You Shall Know Our Velocity - Dave Eggers

Will and his friend Hand have a go at a curious task: get rid of some 32.000 dollars (give, not spend) in a week-long trip around the world. Most of the novel is Will himself telling about the traveling and other previous events with an interlude (in New Zealand) with some explanations by Hand (a nickname). A road or buddy movie (meaning novel) and mainly a tale of grieving and search of meaning told in a refreshing, humorous way.
