I recommended this book to a friend, Barbara Jackson.

I like how it ended and all of its characters. I also really like the author and his books.

I like when Ariel and Eric go go out on the carriage and watch the stars and there’s a meteor shower, which is very cool

Iguana said he had a baby and then the doctor said he had problems and that he needed to get physical therapy because he had a baby Im

Loved it. Lighthearted yet heavy. Warms my heart in these dark times in America.

An interesting record of Steinbecks observations, encounters with Americans, and his experiences as he travels cross country with his poodle, Charley, in his uniquely designed truck he named Rocinante. A nostalgic look at America as it was in 1962

Surprised at how much this story moved me. Still reeling from the ending. (And FYI, it’s racier than the Netflix version!)

A step into history brings out the wide-eyed boy in me. The present pains that mingled with the protagonists life-struggles fit all too well into her archaeological explorations.

A memoir about the author’s Mother’s life which begins in Laos.
