I love Of Mice and Men. I'm reading East of Eden right now and so far love it - I'm reading Grapes of Wrath after I finish East of Eden. I'm excited I read the Pearl in like grade 7 or 8 I think it was and liked it a lot as well.
I liked The Pearl by Steinbeck because it showed just how much greed can consume a person and take over them. I also liked The Red Pony (or something like that), but felt it was to be read at a younger level than when I did read it .
*shudder* The Red Pony gave me nightmares, strangely...
I loved Of Mice and Men. My best friend keeps telling me to read East of Eden, and I keep meaning to...
I've read everything on the list except The Winter of Our Discontent. I voted for Cannery Row, because it's the one I had the most fun reading, but all of the others are definitely deeper books.
