"No - the stars are close and dear and I have joined the brotherhood of the worlds. And everything's holy - everything, even me."

Quite possibly the Greatest American Novel.

Slow read due to heavy dialect, but about halfway through you realize you are reading an important history lesson and getting a hard reality of the Dust Bowl Migration. I’m sad to read that my California treated migrants so poorly and had no empathy.

The end is just a killer. Wow. Glad I read it. What a journey it took me on!
