TRAVELS WITH CHARLEY

I’m a member of a Reading Group and this month we read “Travels with Charley in Search of America” by John Steinbeck. The group enjoyed the book immensely, whilst recognising that it has its defects and may not be everyone’s cup of tea.

Personally I discovered that Steinbeck may unwittingly have revealed the reason for discord in our relationships when he wrote: “A beard is the one thing a woman cannot do better than a man, or if she can her success is assured only in a circus.”
