It was alright. Certainly not my favorite. Excruciating if you have to read it for a class (few books aren't), but not terrible for a read on your own time. Didn't grab me enough to try any other Steainbeck though

I don't know why he is so well respected he is a good storyteller but is a very one dimensional writer IMO I read of mice and men and quit after that.
No knew and interesting thoughts came to me while reading his book I like books that make you think.
some authors.
Aldous Huxley
Stephen king
Chuck Palahniuk
Scott Adams
Terrence Mckenna
Micheal Crichton
orsan scott card
William Goldwing
almost all of there works are good that I have read.

American Gods was my first introduction to him, which I enjoyed immensely. Neverwhere was also really good. I'd probably start with one of those. If you like graphic novels, he wrote the Sandman ones (I didn't read too many, as I'm not a big graphic novel person, but they seemed pretty good).

Of Mice and Men was okay, Grapes of Wrath fucking blew. the only book i had to read for class that i liked was 1984.
yall ever read any Philip K Dick? mind blowing books, especially VALIS and A Scanner Darkly.

You're not missing much, IMO. I had to read a couple of his books, and man, they dragged on. James Joyce was the worst though.

I loved Joyce. Well, not Finnegan's Wake, that one was overboard. But the rest of Joyce's stuff is really good IMO.

Really?
I read Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, barely, then didn't make much progress with Finnegan's Wake.
Glad somebody liked it, though.

Portrait of the Artist was pretty good, I thought. Dubliners (his short stories) were outstanding. Don't worry, no one makes much progress on Finnegan's Wake, it's not really meant for reading as far as I can tell.

I suppose I should say his conversational non-sequiter has been lacking of lack.

One time, this guy posted a video.
I really didn't want to watch it, having too much shit to do, you know?
The fucker didn't even belong in that area to begin with.
In fact, he never came back to reply to his shit.
Idiots like that make me nauseous.
Quote:
Don't know who you are ...
And at this point, I really don't care.
The important issue here is that when you insult Ted, you insult the rest of us.
Please take this moment to reflect on your bad behavior.
You are truly a piece of dog shit.

This is just a reminder to keep you informed that you are in fact ...

It has come to my attention that you crave the cock.
Oh yes - and not just any cock, no sir.
Big, fat, juicy BLACK cock dripping in thick, rich semen.
What do you do when you're not sucking one?
You come into OTD and tell us how satisfied you were with the last one.
And why do you do this?
Because you want us to know how much you love the THICK BLACK COCK!
Here's a tip: Don't waste our time with this trivial info.
Instead, spend your time looking for more of them to suck on.
Quote:
I am fairly certain that you are a total LOSER!
Quote:
That's right - a juicy zero!
And it did not come from a dropper.
Now, learn some respect before you start mouthing off in OTD.
Now kindly fuck off back to the Pub, where you obviously belong, faggot!
Quote:
Faggots always get zeros.
Yes indeed! 
Hint: Try the Pub.
Quote:
A ZERO!
That's right.
Why you ask?
Anyone coming into OTD and expecting the red carpet
treatment doesn't deserve anything more. Accept it.
/fail lol he tries too hard
