Cover of book Travels with Charley by John Steinbeck
Snapshot of America in 1960 with Steinbeck as our guide, exploring the land and interacting with the people, becomes a cry out for sanity from the old patterns of not recognizing the humanity of those that don’t look like “us”. Relevant today. Loved it.

Cover of the audiobook ‘Travels with Charley in Search of America’ by John Steinbeck, part of the Penguin Classics series. The artwork shows a green truck with a black poodle, Charley, looking out of the passenger window. Text at the bottom reads: ‘John Steinbeck, Travels with Charley in Search of America, Read by Gary Sinise, Unabridged.’
“
Let us not fool ourselves. What we knew is dead, and maybe the greatest part of what we were is dead. What’s out there is new and perhaps good, but it’s nothing we know.
”
— John Steinbeck, Travels with Charley: In Search of America, 1968

Cover of the book “Blue Highways” by William Least Heat Moon.
New #book from a friend recommendation after talking about #Steinbeck and his #TravelswithCharley and how it felt like a response to #Kerouac and #ontheroad. Maybe not directly inspired, but Steinbeck had lost perspective & roadtripped to find it. #bluehighways is another roadtrip book.
