Travels with Charley: In Search of America by John Steinbeck

3.0

I am in such a reading slump it’s not even a joke.

Rating: 3.5

Steinbeck's strength is in his fiction writing, so it's no surprise this "non-fiction" travelogue was found to be mostly fabricated. Nevertheless, Steinbeck shines. His thoughts on American culture, race, religion, writing, and travel all bleed true. I did find this to be a tad boring but overall it's an interesting collection of essays from my favorite classical writer.

Also, I'm planning on reading [b:Dogging Steinbeck: How I Went in Search of John Steinbeck's America, Found My Own America, and Exposed the Truth about 'Travels with Charley'|17246909|Dogging Steinbeck How I Went in Search of John Steinbeck's America, Found My Own America, and Exposed the Truth about 'Travels with Charley'|Bill Steigerwald|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1358203474s/17246909.jpg|23682186] soon!
