Not suprised

If you like How to Kill a Mockingbird, you should like other classics like The Pillars of the Earth or Grapes of Wrath. But sometimes it's good to take a break from fiction entirely and read a good biography or science book.

Try these three.

Crime and Punishment by Dostoyevsky

A Farewell to Arms by Hemingway

The Grapes of Wrath by Steinbeck

If you care for a bit more difficult book, I'd highly recommend The Sound and the Fury by Faulkner

Many of those that caused the dust bowl left to go to California.

Also, Oklahoma has given us the Flaming Lips.

Grapes of Wrath

In Dubious Battle

I would recommend checking a local book store though I bet they have at least "Grapes of Wrath" and buying a Steinbeck novel on amazon just seems wrong

also fair warning reading Grapes of Wrath is kinda an ordeal it is an amazing book but it is long and pretty deep. it took me three months to fully read and comprehend it I started and spotted and restarted a lot.

as for unions they are kinda complicated but the way I always think of it is, it doesn't matter how hard of a worker you are or how "hungry" you are a company will fire you the moment it is convenient so you owe your company nothing. all you owe a company is solidarity with your fellow workers to protect each other from the what ever the future holds.

The Grapes of Wrath

I will need the following items for my first year at school:

This and this to read on the train ride to school and possibly over the holiday break when I'm alone in my house lounge, this for the end of year ball, of which I shall also wear this in case of a chill in the air, or wolves. For when my homework goes awry and I accidentally coat the school in a layer of ice, this will come in handy. Finally I shall need to acquire this to wear while the entire school watches Independence Day.
