I live in South Euclid with my girlfriend, Little Red, and our cat, the Lump.

Hi, I love these novels too, they're such a fun read that I re-read them from time to time. I haven't seen the movie yet, I'd like to see it but I've read so dreadful comments about it that I don't know if it's better to forget about it, what's your advice?

Hi, I saw in the Graduate Student's thread that you are working on a thesis about Steinbeck, and I had to say hi because he is also one of my favorite authors. As a Steinbeck expert, what do you think about To a God Unknown? It always seemed to be a bit of a outlier in his collection of works, although now that I think about it the pantheism in To a God Unknown probably shares quite a bit in common with that in The Grapes of Wrath. As to your thesis topic, it always seemed to me like Grapes of Wrath was one of Steinbeck's "political tract" novels, like the Moon is Down or the Pearl. East of Eden seems like a different type of novel entirely, more philosophical. I'm sure that is a vast oversimplification though. How is the thesis work going?

Jason,

I tried the Library Thing Local feature, found that you there and learned that you and I have 20 of the same books in our libraries! Imagine that!
