DNF. No offense, Steinbeck.

Q: I'm looking for books that feature driving, if you have any suggestions.

I don't think I've ever not liked a Steinbeck novel. This was perfect for the road trip move across the US.

“For how can one know color in perpetual green, and what good is warmth without cold to give it sweetness?”

It drags at times, but all in all it was a fun read. Steinbeck’s observations about the country are always either thought-provoking or hilarious or both. I love how much he loves his dog. The last part of the book, in which he talks a lot about race, is interesting considering it was written in 1960, on the precipice of a decade of immense societal change.
