The Grapes of Wrath and Of Mice and Men. I've read both of them and they're good books. However, I don't really like Steinbeck's style, his books are very depressing to me. I do agree that books should be accurate and can show human suffering, but I don't like books where pretty much everything that happens to the character is bad, life's not all bad, its hard, but it has some good in it too. Good luck with the books, they're not too hard of a read either.

well, sarayu's list is comprehensive...
titles I've read are, let's see:

in 7th they made me read "The Red Pony". In 8th grade it was "the Pearl." in 9th...er, um... sorry.... yawn... of mice and.. um...where was I? oh... men. Then I had to read the play "Of Mice and Men." that was okay because I saw the play and got to go backstage and pet the golden retriever. Then I had one year off and then in 11th grade we started... with the turtle... crossing... um... oh okay I think I dozed off there. Oh, that's right, it was the... wait... oh, no, the book is not called "Most boring book ever" - it's "The Grapes of Wrath." has that turtle crossed the road yet?

Sorry to yawn so much... it's just that the very thought of Steinbeck is enought to put me to sleep, let alone having to read him. what a bore.

It's a Scottish poem, with the wondrous line, "The best laid plans o' mice an' men/gang aft aglay" (please forgive my spelling on that last word) --"often going astray" is a good "translation" of that last bit. The poem tells the story of a man watching a mouse...for some reason whatever the mouse is trying to do doesn't work; this is a parallel for what the man sees happening in human life. Mice also play a rather prominent role in the novel itself. You will recall that Lennie doesn't really know how to handle the rodents, sometimes killing them. Oops! The line also has a rather funny cameo in Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, by the way--"The best laid plans of mice." "And men." "What's that?" "The best laid plans of mice and men." "Huh--I don't think men had much to do with it." Of course, in that context it takes on a rather different flavor.

Of Mice and Men, and Grapes of Wrath. Both are depressing but EXQUISITE! If you go to amazon.com or half.com you can get them at a good price. You should actually read them, not just the cliffs notes.
