Hey fellow book lovers! Currently I’m reading my fourth Steinbeck and am again enjoying it a lot. Have you read books from him so far? If yes, which one and how/why did you like it?

Wow, great response, thank you for sharing your thoughts! I started with Of Mice and Men, Grapes of Wrath, The Pearl and now I’m reading East of Eden. What about you?
I love what you’re saying about the characters, because it really feels te same to me! They are so thoroughly created by him, they always seem to manifest as actual historical people.
Never heard of Cannery row but especially the scene you’re describing seems so great, I just added it straight to my reading list.
He really does stand in line with all those great authors and plays an enormously valuable role in the field of literature and the history of America.
Oh I forgot about Mice and Men! What did you think of that one?
Picked it up when I rediscovered my passion for reading around 7-8 years ago and it really fascinated me. The story, his writing style… and was the first book to make me cry. Did you like it?
He wrote a sequel to Cannery Row: Sweet Thursday
oh, and the two books were combined into a movie (made in the '90s i think), titled “Cannery Row”.
