Hey fellow book lovers! Currently I’m reading my fourth Steinbeck and am again enjoying it a lot. Have you read books from him so far? If yes, which one and how/why did you like it?

    Travels with Charlie was a great and quick read. It’s about his road trip across America with his dog in his homemade truck bed travel camper.

        Yes I did. He recounts his experiences meeting different people around the country. I hope this isn’t a spoiler, but what I appreciated was his honest opinions about the different areas and people he met. He wasn’t being some pollyanna and trying to find the good in everyone. If he didn’t like someone he met or a particular part of the country, he didn’t sugarcoat it. And by the last part of his trip, he just wanted to get home to his wife, which I found very relatable when I’m traveling for work or have been on a vacation that’s gone on a little too long.
