Anyone want to give me funding for this?

I know, I'm no Steinbeck, but still...

So I wondered what Steinbeck would think if, in Quixote-like fashion, he were to pack up a second-generation (possibly hybrid?) Rocinante -- what he named the camper he drove across the country in 1960 -- and retrace his route today, seeking once again to "listen to what the country is about."

There's a graphic designer out there who deserves some applause

I still haven't read the book, but this poster pushes it up the TBR list.

(I admit it doesn't actually accomplish its primary objective in this case. I'm not going to watch the show - no HBO here!)

I'm so going to figure out what this book's about

... and maybe even write it. Via 100 Scope Notes:
