Hey fellow book lovers! Currently I'm reading my fourth Steinbeck and am again enjoying it a lot. Have you read books from him so far? If yes, which one and how/why did you like it?

I really enjoyed Of Mice and Men, I read it in school and the ending really had an impact on young me. Currently having difficulty finishing East of Eden, maybe because it jumps around a lot.

Of Mice and Men was probably my favorite "high-school lit" book.

The Pearl on the other hand was my least favorite.

This was also the first book I read from him and it really made an impact. East of Eden is my current read. Are you still at the beginning? It gets smoother to read when he has set up all the scenes and the relationships start to develop I feel.

I'm about a third of the way through now, it seems to be more settled so I'm hoping I'll manage to finish. Enjoy your read!
