if it was in HS, who didn't?

Yeah well, it was around the time when I realized that most of the classes I had were completely useless... the work I was doing was to keep me busy rather than teach me something... and most of my teachers were teachers because they were control freaks.

It must be said of this book that it prepared me for Steinbeck's East of Eden, truly the most enjoyable reading experience that I have ever had.

there's nothing that John Steinbeck wrote that I don't like :) he's the reason why I majored in English.

Great book. Haven't seen the movie.

After reading that book, I finally understood the reference in some of the Bugs Bunny jokes (I'm going to love him and pet him...)
