I read a lot of "travel" books, and it's been said that you always learn more about the author when you read a travel book than you do about travel - and so it is with this little gem! John Steinbeck makes himself transparent through this log, and he proves to be a right likeable guy. I sure would have traded places with Charley. A nice mix of people, life philosophy, places and enough politics and culture to make it a pleasurable read.
