Best hype when I read it is that it should happen again ( Nazi Germany during the 30’s). Sad thing is it’s happening in America.

Read " Nickeled and Dimed". What I’ve notice is that the lower in pay the more you have to be on your feet.

You got to read Hunger Games…try Jane Eyre, written 100+ years before we had to read it.

I remember reading To Kill A Mockingbird when I was 15 ( many years ago). I hated “required reading books”. Loved TKAM. I was reprimanded in study hall for reading it. Gave me crap about The Grapes of Wrath also. Couldn’t tell you a thing about what I was required to read.

I hoped that things had changed in the last 60 years

Couldn’t agree more.

Agree. I can summarize from my first reading 60 years ago. The book is so powerful but I’m sure having seen the movie a few times I’ve probably intertwined them.

There is so much in the book about humans and human nature. Also although it is about America in the 1030’s there are so many similarities to America today

Well said…I agree with your thoughts. I am also surprised ( and glad) that people still read that book. When people ask everyone for their favorite book this is mine. I get emotional when people do good things for people. Steinbeck has some in everyone of his books. When I tell people about the scene in the diner I tear up. “What’s it to ya”.

The Grapes of Wrath
