It is so far. We first listened to A Russian Journal, another non-fiction work of his. As a result I decided I wanted another travelogue from him. Steinbeck is very good at describing mood, events, people, his dog. I am trying to learn from him. The only thing I don’t like is the choice to read the audiobook. Gary Sinise is a fine actor but his voice grates on me in this instance

Oh, wow. Surprising on all fronts. I came across that memoir of his a while back. It may be calling to me now.
