Winter of our Discontent is my favorite too. I never even see it mentioned in Steinbeck threads.

Cannery Row

I noticed this online too, it's severely underrated.

Not read The Winter of Our Discontent

I enjoyed Cannery Row, Travels with Charley and East of Eden.

Surprised Of Mice and Men is what people know from him the most (although it's probably due to it being commonly assigned in school). It's the second worst i've read of his, only being better than The Pearl.

why isn't steinbeck a meme

why is he unknown outside murika

I enjoy Tortilla Flat and Travels with Charley the most. Steinbeck has written the comfiest books I've ever read.

So underrated! Absolutely

I fucking love East of Eden. Reread it every now and then. Of Mice & Men was okay. I need to read Grapes of Wrath.

Does /lit/ like Steinbeck now?

I loved Eden, Grapes and Mice. About halfway through Winter of our Discontent right now and it's pretty slow. I feel like it's building to something good, but it's taking a long time to get there

Really? I can see how of all his books, you might be surprised that OMAM is the most well known, but I honestly loved both that one and the Pearl. Maybe it's just a difference in taste? I'm looking forward to reading more of his longer stuff though.

Tortilla Flat and The Red Pony tbqhwyf

log from the sea of cortez

Is there a guide for Steinbeck? Like where to start and what to read after

Pastures of Heaven was Always my favorite, so fucking subtle and affective. Of mice and men was a good story at the very least; I actually hated Grapes of wrath

>>7697795
Word.

What's that one where he make a subtle argument for socialism by depicting the working classes as downtrodden but hopeful?
