Travels with Charley by John Steinbeck
5.0
I always regretted that I haven't read 'On the road' by Kerouac when I was young and now I am too old to enjoy it. After reading this book I regret no more! Steinbeck is my favorite American author and from now on, Charley is my fave lit dog <3.
I truly adore Steinbeck's love for life, focus on ordinary people, his interest in society, his way of showing us America of the 20s century.
“I have always lived violently, drunk hugely, eaten too much or not at all, slept around the clock or missed two nights of sleeping, worked too hard and too long in glory, or slobbed for a time in utter laziness. I've lifted, pulled, chopped, climbed, made love with joy and taken my hangovers as a consequence, not as a punishment.”
