He wrote so many, and I've read so few... alas.

I read Grapes of Wrath for a school project some odd years ago. It was odd, while reading it felt a little "oh maaaan, don't they do anything else but eat potato?!" and in general the style is very dwelling-on-details and realistic with not a lot happening, just a lot of misery going round. But once through and finished, it feels rewarding and uplifting. I think that's a sign of a classic.

iippo I read Grapes of Wrath for a school project some odd years ago. It was odd, while reading it felt a little "oh maaaan, don't they do anything else but eat potato?!" and in general the style is very dwelling-on-details and realistic with not a lot happening, just a lot of misery going round. But once through and finished, it feels rewarding and uplifting. I think that's a sign of a classic. I agree. Also, it's probably because he was able to tell the story of the lives of a family so realisticly, and not many writers are able to that to that extent. He captured every detail.
