Recent Read: Tortilla Flat
28 August 2007
I chipped away another one of Steinbeck's short novels last week, Tortilla Flat. A whimsical, idyllic look at the Paisanos, a merry band of Californian men too busy sucking the marrow out of life to work...or care about much else but wine...or care about working at all. But man, Paisanos know how to have fun.Fun little read, but I'm beginning to realize that after East of Eden and The Grapes of Wrath, my best Steinbeck reads are behind me.

That must be because you've never read Travels with Charley or The Pastures of Heaven!

Hmmm ... or Winter of My Discontent, or Wayward Bus, or Of Mice and Men, or The Moon Is Down
You have many, many more to go ...
