Bookwormjillk Yeah pee mud isn‘t covered by my health insurance. Loved that Tom told Willy to wash his face. (edited) 5h

Bklover This chapter was disturbing. Tom raping a girl and then saying he‘d of paid her but he only has five dollars. The pee mud. Swerving so he would hit the rabbit. I‘m not liking Tom. At all. 3h

ElizaMarie I guess they didn‘t have duct tape- pee mud works too 34m

Bklover You‘d think with all that extra coming in from the truck drivers Mae could give the guy a loaf of bread. I know she was ok with the boys, but I still wouldn‘t call her generous. Thank goodness Al is there. Does anyone else think A-I when they see the name Al? Every time. 1d

Bklover Oh, and if you didn‘t know- IITYWYBAD is “ If I tell you will you buy another drink”. I didn‘t know. 1d

BarbaraJean After all that with the bread, then the boys and the candy! 🥹 @Bklover I‘m with you on the name “Al.” Every single time! I used A-I (not Al) to look up the acronym because I had no idea. 😆 1d

Bookwormjillk @Bklover yes on the AI 1d

SamAnne My favorite chapter so far! 1d

TheAromaofBooks Despite Mae being kind of stingy with the bread, this chapter overall felt like a look on the more hopeful side of things - I loved the way the truckers covered all the expenses when they left. 1d

lil1inblue @SamAnne Mine too! Also, based on past interactions with truckers at vatious jobs, I can confirm that they're so kind. 1d

Bookwormjillk Whenever they have conversations like that I think of Fival Goes West “There are no cats in America and the streets are made of cheese.” Sad chapter but I‘m glad they teamed up with the other family. That seems smart. 3d

BarkingMadRead @bookwormjillk it‘s a genius plan, i hope it works out 3d

ElizaMarie Glad you highlighted that quote. It spoke to me too ;) 3d

SamAnne Lord this chapter. 3d

lil1inblue @Bookwormjillk I loved the kindness and community spirit with the other family so much. It made the chapter easier to process. 3d

lil1inblue You are on point with the quotes you're picking. It's always something I highlighted, too. #greatminds 😘🤌🏻 3d

lauraisntwilder The dog and Grampa in the same chapter and it's only their first day on the road. Ouch. 3d

Bklover Well, that was awful. Poor dog. Poor Granpa. Oh, and they make me nervous every time they talk about their orange trees and little white house they‘re planning on. This doesn‘t seem like a HEA book, at least so far! 3d

BarbaraJean This quote stood out to me, too—and the next part: “If I go ahead on all of ‘em, it‘s too much.” Wise words from Ma. Also: I was all worried about the turtle and now this. 👴🏻🐶😭 3d

lil1inblue I'm slightly annoyed that the pattern of one #wrathsnack and then one Joad chapter is ruined. 😂 I appreciated the second to last paragraph in this chapter... We needed some #goodpeopletoo! 4d

BarkingMadRead @lil1inblue it definitely felt weird, it should be 1 and 1 and nothing else 🤣 4d

Bookwormjillk So today I learned there are only supposed to be 30 chapters in this book but for some reason mine has 50 something. And that's why I am so behind all the time. I feel so relieved. I thought I was imagining having read each day's chapter 😂Anyway I'm caught up now. 5d

“Once, after a meeting, while she was still speaking in tongues, she fired both barrels of a shotgun at her husband, ripping one of his buttocks nearly off, and after that he admired her and did not try to torture her as children torture bugs.”

Wait, WHAT?! 😳😂

Bklover “How will we know it‘s us without our past?” 🥺 1w

willaful Another excruciating chapter. Steinbeck really paints a picture.

(It brought up some painful memories of my childhood, when we were very nomadic and I always had to leave stuff behind, and then there's now when I worry about whether we should be emigrating. Not the my life has been anything like this hard.) 1w

ElizaMarie I felt so sad for the kiddos with having to leave their things. Every space counts and having to justify what would and would not make the cut matters. 1w

KAO This chapter reminded me of the estate sale that I stopped by this weekend. It struck me as so very sad to see all of these seemingly random items as well as apparently once treasured collectibles left behind. I had so many questions about who lived there and what circumstances brought about the need for this sale, but I didn‘t speak to anyone about it and left—with one little garden decoration ($4) ready to start a new life in my yard. 7d

lil1inblue @Bklover That quote... 😭 7d

lil1inblue I'm glad this is a buddy read, because I couldn't handle this book alone. 7d

Bklover @lil1inblue Me too! I need the humor in this group just so I can read this stuff! 7d
