"You had mentioned eating paisano style after finishing the book. After a bit of reading, I realized this would involve stealing a chicken after sexing up some clueless women and then using what little money we had left to buy a gallon of wine or grappa and getting drunk for a day or two. How 'bout we just eat Mexican style instead?"
I think shortly after I moved (and when the group finished the book) they did indeed simply go out to Mexican food.

That's funny! I know people hold Steinbeck in high esteem as a writer - heck, my kids' school is named after him. But, I don't think he was that great. The most I could say is that he recorded some of the "not so pretty" history of California during the dust bowl. Just get a knot in my stomach when I think about his writing. And, have you ever driven through "Steinbeck country"? The soil, yes, it's pretty, but that's about all I can say...take a gander through Salinas...yikes.
LOL
