"the grapes of wrath" was made into an unforgettable movie starring the late henry Fonda...
"Cannery row", "Of mice and Men", "East of Eden" is another good one...
That is stuff that I was reading during my younger years, when there wasn't much choice.... Due to the fact that our teacher wanted in depht essays on them....
By choice now, I would rather read Wilbur Smith or Tom Clancy... Pure and unadulterated escapology....
I have only read 'Of mice and men' of J Steinbeck. I would like to advice Harper Lee 'To Kill a Mockingbird'. Brilliantly written.
