Cuilin I‘ll admit it, I‘m glad this was a short chapter cause I‘m not yet connecting with this book. 1mo
lil1inblue #youarenottheonlyonestressingoveraturtle I gasped audibly when he got hit. 1mo
BarbaraJean I was SO invested in the turtle. Relief when the first car missed him. Shocked when the truck swerved to intentionally hit him! Relief again when he made it across. I‘m going to need future turtle updates, Steinbeck. 1mo
SamAnne I‘m looking forward to this reread. I‘ve also been doing a slow read of East of Eden. I‘m on a 6 week road trip and have traveled through southern Central Valley, the orange groves, Visalia, where Steinbeck traveled and spent in before writing GOW. 1mo
SamAnne And I loved a chapter devoted to the trials and tribulations of a turtle. Perseverance! 1mo
lauraisntwilder I tried to read this once WAY before I was ready and didn't finish. It's been so long that I'd just about convinced myself that I made up the turtle chapter! I've since read and enjoyed East of Eden, so I should give this one another try 1mo
BarkingMadRead @lauraisntwilder would you like me to add you to the tag list? We are reading a chapter a day, and the first few were very short! It would be easy to catch up 1mo
lauraisntwilder @BarkingMadRead Sure! Thanks! 1mo
willaful So shocked! People, ugh. 1mo
willaful I guess it makes a great metaphor though. 1mo
Bklover Poor turtle. 🐢 but he‘s hanging on! 1mo
ElizaMarie Because he writes so beautifully, I was totally invested in this turtle. Also, people are shitty 1mo
