Read in January.

It‘s no surprise that this Steinbeck was a pick as I have enjoyed almost all I have read so far.* Ethan Allen Hawley comes from a wealthy old New England family, but there is no longer wealth, just a name and the home he shares with his wife and 2 children. Ethan is a grocery store clerk and is scrupulously honest. Until one spring/summer, when he sets in to motion a plan to restore a little of that wealth. #MyPartnerPickedIt

Reggie I‘ve never read Steinbeck. I should change that. 9mo
Bookzombie @Reggie I think you would really like East of Eden. David reminded me that you do have to allow him time to set up the story. 🙂 9mo
Centique @Bookzombie @Reggie i loved East of Eden too! Its been many years though 😍 It was long but really got deep into those family relationships and psychology and it made me (at about 20yo or so) think more about life and purpose than any book id ever read. 9mo

1. I learned how to drive a car on a manual. My dad took us to a local street, parked on a hill, and then said, “ok, now drive.” 😖 Anyone who has ever driven stick knows that once you have mastered the art of not rolling backwards on an incline, you‘re golden. 😀
2. Had to tag this book. Although it was a van, not a car. That still counts, right?

HettyG My dad dropped the keys to his old truck with a standard transmission to me at my job bagging groceries and told me to get myself home! 😂 10mo
Crazeedi That's how I taught my girls to drive a standard! Lol 10mo
Amiable @HettyG Needs must, am I right? 😄 I learned on a car that had the stick on the steering column — or as it was known back then, a “three on the tree.” 🤷🏻‍♀️ (edited) 10mo

Amiable @Crazeedi I taught my boys how to drive first and THEN showed them how to work a stick. My father just went straight for the manual — guess he figured it would save time. 😄 10mo
TheSpineView Thanks for playing! 10mo
BethM @Amiable my dad too- straight for the stick. Lots and lots of tears and yelling 😂 now stick is my preference lol 10mo
Amiable @BethM OMG, that first time was a bitch, wasn‘t it? It‘s been 40 years and I still remember it like it was yesterday. 😄 10mo

“The Winter of Our Discontent”, technically it‘s a reread but because it‘s been more than 20 years it read almost like a new story. A story of a man lost between a glorious past of his ancestors and brutal present of not only his diminished status, but also a struggle to gain his place in the world. He finds out he can take certain steps to make gain but nothing comes without price. I loved this book before and I loved it now.
