Why do people think this book is boring?
Its got no pizazz if you know what I mean.

Cuz it's about farming, or not farming. Who gives a shit? See what I mean?
East of Eden is better

i have no idea. its got funny parts, sad parts, great writing
Because this book is boring.
It's repetitive, and the brief chapters that don't follow the Joads are very hit and miss.
I like it a lot though.
Grapes of Wrath?
More like belongs in the trash
Satantango is by far slower, and more boring, but I just didn't really like the style that Steinbeck used for Grapes

poor people are boring and repulsive
Because Steinbeck's prose is one of the most mundane and vapid overrated pieces of shit you'll ever read. And they even gave the guy a Nobel prize, what a fucking joke.

His prose is fine and his dialogue is exceptional.
Because the people who call it boring are 18 y/o virgins raised on call of duty and mountain dew. With no attention span further than two pages before they wander.

Because they were forced to read it as attention deficit teenagers in highschool.

Came here to say this. I couldn't put East of Eden down.
It's such a well-written work that I don't give a shit what the plot is about, it's still good.
