Yeah, I know, I should have read this years ago. Just got done reading Of Mice and Men, by John Steinbeck. A very quick read - I started it yesterday. I've not read much Steinbeck, and now I'll probably try to read more. I've not often read something that packed so much depth in so few pages.
Apparently there's a movie with John Malkovich in it that's really good.
Next stop, Mona Lisa Overdrive, by William Gibson.
You have to read "The pearl" now. A short novel, but a moving one.
Emmanuel,
I read The Pearl more than 20 years ago, and remember it being wonderful. Why I never read any more Steinbeck after that, I don't know. I should read all of his stuff.
I saw the John Malkovich movie quite a long time ago and was very impressed. It was quite good. It was the first movie I ever saw Gary Sinise in and probably the best performance I've ever seen given by Ray Walston. Do watch sometime.
Love William Gibson. Read Pattern Recognition a few years ago and was blown away - scifi and marketing all in one book. Just heaven!
