"In 1960, when he was almost 60 years old, John Steinbeck set out to rediscover his native land. Accompanied only by a French poodle named Charley, he traveled the length and the breadth of the United States. He outfought a hurricane in New York and drank cognac in Maine with a family of migrant farm workers. He renewed old acquaintances in California and attended a modern witches' sabbath in New Orleans He saw things which stirred his anger and things which made him swell with pride."

Read this book awhile ago and really enjoyed it. I especially like Steinbeck's writing and his observations of the places and people he encounters.

Passing along to 6-of-8 at today's BC-in-DC meeting!

I look forward to reading this book at some point. It has been on my "maybe I will read that next" list for a while but when I went to look for it on the shelf I would be distracted by something else. Turns out I was a little ahead of myself thinking it would be on the shelf to begin with.
