This is a must read. They are not an easy read and Steinbeck provokes thought, debate on the best of man and the worst. Grapes of Wrath is one of my all time favourites as it tells the true story of poor, farming, white Americans in a time of turmoil. Their relationship with each other and their coloured workers. persevere, it is worth it.

It is one of the most profound books one can find outside what considered religious texts, and one of the best of the writer. Perhaps it is not easy to film - at any rate the film based on Grapes of Wrath is just as impressive, just as profound, and portrayal by Henry Fonda is great in the Indian (not just American) sense of the word (Indian is not native American - that latter should be changed to real American); but East of Eden is much better read, and more than once. it needs reading when one has time to mull over, even if it is only the time one spends commuting, or even better during vacation.

In this magnificent book John S. says again: "A man is nasty, a man is amiable and I love them all".

Your metaphor of fear is quite appropriate about the Big Read.

I have read reviews on this website, Amazon and others saying what a dark book this was. I didn't find it dark at all. I found it true and real, but wonderfully hopeful, comforting and inspiring. Timshel says it all.

I don't think it is too dark, Niki. There is such good (Lee and Samuel) that far outweigh the evil. I just love all of the intertwined stories.
