Road Reads: Travels with Charley by John Steinbeck
Have you read Steinbeck’s Travels with Charley? In the 50+ years since it’s been published, the spark that sends people off to wander the highways and byways hasn’t changed much. The want to roam around and take in the world with your senses isn’t new. So many people are searching for something – meaning, feeling, information, understanding, escape, camaraderie, beauty, truth…
In other words, I don’t improve; in further words, once a bum always a bum. I fear the disease is incurable. I set this matter down not to instruct others but to inform myself.
I highly recommend Travels with Charley. Not only will you find yourself chuckling out loud but you will also find passages and phrases that resonate deeply.
Thank you for the recommendation. I’ll definitely look for the book. The “travel disease” is incurable.
Just picked up the audiobook. Looking forward to listening to it!
awesome 🙂 Hope you enjoy it, too!
‘Read it when it was nearly new, after the “classroom assigned” Steinbeck. ‘Made me feel a bit more normal at the time for feeling the need to wander and wonder.
