Travel's with Charley: In search of America- John Steinbeck


Btw,  Duthie Books on 4th Ave is closing after 52 years. I bet P.C.'s been in there a few times. I've only gone a couple.

I gave up on The Sound and the Fury.  Even with lit notes, I was having too much difficulty figuring out the past/present in the narrative.

  Back to easy reading!  Medusa by Clive Cussler.

Still working on Travels with Charley - enjoying it immensely.

I've decided to read Brecht's Mother Courage next.

Read both of them, SD.

Oh I will. Its just my reading queue. I'm going back and forth between Steinbeck, Hunter S, Brecht plays and Kerouac. You'd think I'd get tired of American travel writing, but I haven't so far.

I meant 'read' in the past tense, SD. Have you tried The Old Patagonian Express by Paul Theroux?

Nope. But feel free to shout out suggestions. My reading sailboat likes to wander. One of my favourite prof's always hints at books I should read through email that he thinks I'd find interesting. I wouldn't have known about Samuel Beckett that way, or Pynchon or that drunk from Memphis on my first flight to Canada convincing me to read Confederacy of Dunces (which I haven't yet, its one of those I need to get to that stares at me from the shelf).  And so on.
