Started this massive book yesterday after it sat on my nightstand for like 2 weeks collecting dust – kept putting it off because who has time for 600+ pages right
Well turns out I was being an idiot because I'm already 80 pages deep and totally obsessed. might actually pull an all-nighter with this thing which would be insane since I have work tomorrow but here we are
Never really appreciated how incredible Steinbeck's writing could be until now. The way he builds characters and paints scenes is just next level stuff. Plus the mature themes are way more complex than I expected – definitely not the same experience as reading Grapes of Wrath back in high school when I was probably too young to really get it
So now I'm wondering what to dive into next from his catalog. Already knocked out Of Mice and Men earlier this year but that one didn't grab me quite the same way
Anyone got recommendations for which Steinbeck novel to tackle after this one? your suggestions would be awesome
