Objectively the best Steinbeck book.

I feel bad for you if you read Steinback aside from mandatory school reading.

Mein Goethe, I just read this one, and it is amazing. It is at the same time profound and tender. Made me want to read more Steinbeck.

>thinking that the pronunciation of Goethe is anything like English "God"

It's pronounced like Ger-tuh, jabroni.

Nah, see the word "mein"? I was thinking it sounds like "Gott".

I preferred "East of Eden" and "Cannery Row" but I haven't started the follow up "Sweet Thursday" yet

“It is a fact verified and recorded in many histories that soul capable of the greatest good is also capable of the greatest evil. Who is there more impious than backsliding priest? Who more carnal than a recent virgin? This, however, may be a matter of appearance.”

Goat - uh

Objectivity is a farce. Run while you still can.

Haven't read any of his books, starting East of Eden tomorrow though.

It's Grapes of Wrath you mongs.

But subjectively, for me it is Travels with Charley.

Sweet Thursday is certainly worth it if you liked Cannery Row. Same characters, but set in a later time, the Chinese shop is now owned by a Hispanic called Jesus Maria.

Am I the only one who thinks The Pearl is his best work?

Agree 100%, comfiest book I've ever read.
