If you are an American you need to read The Grapes of Wrath. It scares the poop out of me because, my fellow Americans, we are repeating history.

I'm not sure I've ever been quite so saddened by a book as I was by this one. On the one hand: quite long and most certainly a school read. On the other: poignant, intriguing, and a story every person should be made aware of. On writing style and the sheer depth of emotions in this, it is still wort...

This is one of those big classics that I have heard about all my life but never took the time to read it. I am glad I set aside the time. Parts o this book were intense, even depressing, but Steinbeck kept pulling me back to a good place in the book with a bit of unexpected kindness. I was surprised...

Steinbeck succeeded wonderfully in bringing focus to the realities of life for one farm family in 1930s America during the Great Depression. His vehicle was primarily the Joad family, and we're allowed to follow them as they face blow after blow, in an effort to stay together as a family and migrate...
