Travels with Charley: In Search of America
by John Steinbeck
Ooh Steinbeck, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways..
Yes, this is a book about traveling across the U.S., for Steinbeck wanted to rediscover the country he had been writing about for most of his life.
But with this man, and his way with words, and thought, and observational skills, just makes it so much more.
A book for the vagabond, the wanderer, the traveler, rover, globetrotter, drifter.. even if you only are those things in your daydreams.
For people who want an insight in 1960s U.S., philosophy, nature, dogs and so on and so forth.
I especially thought the section about the deep South in the 60s, with the civil rights movement and school integration was moving, emotional, disturbing, sad, tragic and heartbreaking.
