Cuilin I‘ll admit it, I‘m glad this was a short chapter cause I‘m not yet connecting with this book. 6d
lil1inblue #youarenottheonlyonestressingoveraturtle I gasped audibly when he got hit. 6d
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. 6d
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. 6d
SamAnne And I loved a chapter devoted to the trials and tribulations of a turtle. Perseverance! 6d
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 6d
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 6d
lauraisntwilder @BarkingMadRead Sure! Thanks! 6d
willaful So shocked! People, ugh. 6d
willaful I guess it makes a great metaphor though. 6d
Bklover Poor turtle. 🐢 but he‘s hanging on! 6d
ElizaMarie Because he writes so beautifully, I was totally invested in this turtle. Also, people are shitty 5d
