Steinbeck is great.


Indeed he is. He happens to be my favorite author, actually.

Have you read Cannery Row? If so, remember Doc? I'm related to him. spam;

I'll give you East Of Eden and maybe one or two others, but most of the stuff of his I've read, I've disliked.

Regularly. I love reading. Have any of you read Carl Hiaasen's stuff? It's just amazingly entertaining.

I also like books like Freakonomics and Blink, if any of you have read them. Reading about other countries is good, too. I read a book called Confucius Lives Next Door, which talks about Japan, and it was a really great read. It wasn't like fact after fact, it was just some average dude talking about when he went to Japan for a few years. (He spoke Japanese, of course.)

Strip Tease, which was of course later made into a movie called "Striptease."

Technology and globalism go hand and hand. If you want to be on the forefront of technology then you gotta be global

I just read Strip Tease and Skinny Dip by him. He also did that kid's book Hoot, though.

I think he was on my reading list a while back. Never got around to it though.

Occasionally... It's usually for school, but sometimes I read for my own enjoyment.

Right now, I'm reading The World Without Us by Alan Weisman. It's actually a pretty interesting read. It's all about what the world would be like if humans were to suddenly vanish from the face of the Earth, and how long it would take for it to heal back to pre-industrial levels.

I also read the Harry Potter books sometimes.
