Travels with Charley by John Steinbeck

http://photos2.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/6/b/d/c/event_87087612.jpegJoin the Open Book Club in June for a discussion of Travels with Charley in Search of America by John Steinbeck.

"With his dog Charley, John Steinbeck set out in his truck to explore and experience America in the 1960s. As he talked with all kinds of people, he sadly noted the passing of region speech, fell in love with Montana, and was appalled by racism in New Orleans."

The Open Book Club meets monthly for casual conversation followed by discussion questions moderated by Open Books (http://www.open-books.org/) staff. All are welcome and there is no monthly commitment. Come read with us!
