    Hi Back- Yes Steinbeck has always been one of my favorites- I would include THE GRAPES OF WRATH as one my all-time favorites. I first got into him during high school (which unfortunately has been a very long time ago) and rapidly read through his catalog. Is Crystal Lake in the Chicagoland area?

    cheers, Jason

    Hi Dave, thanks for your note. I'm admittedly an inconsistent shelfbooker, but I enjoy reading and sharing about books, so I'm happy to have you join in the conversation. I also used to live in Carol Stream, IL, not too far from Crystal Lake if memory serves. Let me know what you think of the Atwood book.

    Thanks for the Dylan info, Dave! Also, I'll see if I can get your book through the library. Baseball is my favorite sport, by the way, and I understand that you use it to advance your story now! Are your short stories in an anthology or in a journal or what?

    Everyone should read your book, Dave. It's awesome, timely and unlike many that brave such territory, graciously realistic.
