Pub Quiz

I will buy a drink to whoever can tell me what book this is from.  OK, only the first person.  And Michael's not allowed to answer.

A quote from one of my favorite books in honor of my grandparents house being torn down in order to build a bypass:  

"Bypasses are devices that allow some people to dash from point A to point B very fast while other people dash from point B to point A very fast.  People living at point C, being a point directly in between, are often given to wonder what's so great about point A that so many people from point B are so keen to get there, and what's so great about point B that so many people from point A are so keen to get there.  They often wish that people would just once and for all work out where the hell they wanted to be."
