Travels with Charley in Search of America by John Steinbeck

4.0

For a brief moment in time, the reading of Travels with Charley was in alignment with my own age and that of Steinbeck's when he traveled across America with his dog. Furthermore, his travels took place around the time of my birth. What a perfect opportunity to look back at what America was like when I joined the ride. Granted, the view from a white man in the early 1960's is not the same as what many others might have seen at the time and there were moments when I cringed at his characterizations. But very interesting, nonetheless. All in all, Steinbeck's humor and humanity made for an enjoyable and though-provoking read.
