When I read this book, I remember just longing for some sort of adventure. What an amazing life Steinbeck lived.

One of my other favorites is Travels with Charley. He comes to the Redwood forest and describes it as cathedral-like. The soft fur of the trees sucking in the sound. The thousands of years of duff and hummis making a soft carpet. It just makes you want to talk in hushed tones.

Love, Steinbeck as a writer and traveler.

Thanks for your comment. Cheers
