You really enjoyed reading about the tard wrangler shooting his friend after he killed some girl?

Not particularly but I enjoy the populist perspective of Steinbeck. He is our guy.

Only book of his I've ever read was of mice and men. Made me decide to not seek out his other works

Name a good author in your opinion.

Homer. Assuming the translations are accurate his prose can be long but they don't suck.

Technically a poet but ok.

Yeah, I keep forgetting that epics are a form of poetry.
You consider Steinbeck a good author but not Dickens?

Robert E. Howard was better than both. Very sophisticated stuff

Land of the Lost - I think they remade it as a movie in the past decade

I honestly don't remember the name of the book. Was watching alien/DMT videos on youtube one night and came across some dude talking about said book
Ive seen the land of the lost movie, a couple episodes of the show too

My school made me read some book about this indian girl who gets bought to be some dude's wife. said dude is sick and dies, so she winds up being abused by his parents before escaping, being raped by an artist, and then starting a quilting business.
Am I the only one to find the part in BOLD fascinating?

You don't think theres a place for a quilting business in India?

I think they should focus on toilets for awhile first.
Posted on 2/10/19 at 10:43 pm to KSGamecock
I think they tried that but it didn't work

I liked Dickens and Steinbeck because both wrote their eras.
Dickens was wordy but it was a time when folks had much broader vocabularies and words could be more specific tho verbose.
I really liked Steinbeck but in school you get stuck with OM&M or GoW. I might suggest "Winter of Our Discontent" or "Cannery Row".

This actually sounds pretty good. Main Character is doing what he can to put food on the table after his father lost the family fortune, he gets fed up and decides to do something to get it all back.
I might actually read this in spite of my dislike for of mice and men

What age was the book?
Ghandi era and I can see spinning cotton but quilts are usually for colder weather

Homeless Bird came out in 2001 and it was a present day story as her husband before he died was studying computers I think.

you do realize the himalayas are in India right? It does get cold and sometimes people like to lay on quilts instead of dirt floors.
