Yeah, I've read that one too. Pretty good, but that Yetisbabe character was totally unconvincing, IMHO... :D :D

I read The Grapes of Wrath by Steinbeck recently, & found it boring, depressing & preachy. I certainly don't think it deserves it's reputation as one of the greatest novels of the 20th century. It drags on & the characters are nasty. I guess it's an intellectual's book. I hated it.

That is my favorite author and book. :p

Chillin says Hemmingway is her fav and I have tried but just don't get him. Maybe I'll try again - If Chillin says it's good, it's gotta be :wink: .

Right now I'm reading a book on Richard Feynman. An awesome man that was so smart but very down to earth.

Hi Zosima,

I like it because it told so many stories within the simple story that it is. Family is most important. Corporations can be corupt and have little interest in anything but itself. That we are all human and should treat everybody with respect. Even if they are poor, dirty or different than us.

Steinbeck got flack when this book first came out. Some said he was just pushing a political statement. But he grew up in the Salinas valley that depended on migrant workers. I think it was just a subject close to his heart and that he could see things from the migrant's side.

Thanks for the tip on First Love. I'll check it out next time at the library.
