I read “Travels” as a class assignment while I was in High School. Sometimes you’d get time to read in class so you were supposed to have your paperback copy with you every day. One morning I couldn’t find it, so left home without it. It was a “reading period” day that day and I had to admit I did not have my book. After the teacher jacked me around in front of the class she loaned me her book. After school I went to work in the filling station. We were not busy that day and there was my Dad setting on a shop stool reading the book. No wonder. I thought, the old man took my book to work with him. One of the few books we ever read at the same time. The other I remember was Stegner’s “Big Rock Candy Mountain.”
Both classics. The spring of 65 was a long time ago.
