I'm reading this for the Book You Haven't Read Since High School prompt for #PopSugar2016 - and I canNOT believe how gorgeous it is! The prose is delicious - I want to eat it like a bowl of ripe blackberries. If you need a book to pull you out of a wintry slump, this is the one - I've never read anything so perfectly summery. #BooksfromSteinbeck #currentread #Scoutkitty #catsoflitsy

MMenefee Your description is lovely and reminds me of a quote from a fav book: "After a time, it seemed that the world inside the books became my world. So when I thought of my childhood, it was dandelion wine and ice cream on a summer porch, like Ray Bradbury, and catching catfish with Huck Finn. My own memories receded and the book memories became the real memories, far more than the outside, far more even than in here." 8y
SharonGoforth One of my favorites!! 8y
Chessa @MMenefee oooh I love that! 8y
Chessa @SharonGoforth I remember liking it when I read it years ago, but I'm just dumbfounded by the prose reading it as an adult. So amazing! 8y
