A bitter vintage....

I finished The Grapes of Wrath today. It's easy to see why Steinbeck won a Pulitzer for it, and why it caused so much outrage. I was slightly disappointed by the conclusion; it was a little unsatisfying, or perhaps seemed incomplete. Nonetheless, I enjoyed the book. The realistic dialog couple with the vivid exposition created a very powerful, moving work.

I'm not sure what will be next on the list. I probably won't know until Monday.
