Back to the classics. Steinbeck is truly the greatest california author. I was at the bookstore with carys yesterday and I was roaming and came across this book and realized ive never read it. So now is the time. If you are looking for a good short taste of steinbeck to see if you like him try The Pearl, The Red Pony or Cannnery Row. If you wanna jump right in to his finest novel,The grapes of wrath I cannot reccomend it highly enough....considering the novel is about us and some of you might even have family that came out from the dust bowl its and incredibly moving novel. Plus you will recognize many of the settings in the valley here. The book was originally banned in kern county lol

Reading it along with Margaret. Really beautiful language with great and horrible characters

I miss this book. Lee is my favorite character. Kathy is pure evil.

The things we read for book club...

Just starting, wish me luck

The Salinas Valley is in Northern California.

After months of procrastination I'm finally starting this damn book

Every word has purpose, unlike S. Larson's wordy works...

I haven't started yet its for a report I'm excited. For it though.

About 30 more minutes to go. This book has been phenomenal! I'd only ever read "Of Mice & Men", but NOW I think I'll have to read "Grapes of Wrath" & "Cannery Row".

And now for my final magical trick finishing this forsaken book

This book just keeps getting better & better, but more heartbreaking as well.

Reading Steinbeck 4 the 1st time! I've heard great things!!

Via Audible for iPhone. Cool. I'm loving the descriptions of the landscape/seascape of California's Salinas Valley.

Je ne sais pas.

I just bought it yesterday and I'm already on page 73. This is such a good book :D

Just finished page 200 of 601, it's not that bad. Except I absolutely hate the character Cathy.

It picks up steam after a few chapters.
