One of the most beloved novels of American literature by one of its greatest novelists. It has been described as epic, transcendental, human, captivating, tragic and idillic, a must-read… A perfect combination for our club!
Thanks everybody for your votes!
Suggested reading schedule coming soon.
As always, looking forward to reading with you.
I am a freak, I know, but I had to share this with you.
ReplyDeleteIn Salinas, California, there is a John Steinbeck House, the writer's boyhood home. This house is a museum and a restaurant, and not only the menu sounds good, but the Oprah Winfrey and members of her book club visited the Steinbeck House in September of 2003. And I couldn't help thinking of our bookclub in a study trip to Salinas! Ahhh, wishful thinking.
Have a look at the official website: http://www.steinbeckhouse.com
It is also very interesting that in Salinas there is The National Steinbeck Center, the only museum in the U.S. dedicated to a single author.
Maybe one day one of us will have the chance to visit both! And he/she must submit a detailed report of the trip.
Hey Arantxa! Sounds like a very good plan to me! Let's go and visit Steinbeck's house in Northern California, as a study trip, reaaaally a good idea, when do you have some free time?

DeleteAhhhhh that would be so nice! The plan is good, somehow the logistics are a little bit complicated :-)
DeleteBut the main question is... who is going to be Oprah?????
