Of Mice and Men (Penguin Great Books of the 20th Century) from Penguin Books Price: $5.60 Customer Review:  Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck is a wonderful book. After I started reading it I couldn't put it down. It contains only 107 pages and is a pleasure to read. This book really puts an insight on Steinbeck's theory of the perfectability of man. All this means is that he believed that nomatter how... |

Cannery Row from Penguin Books Price: $8.00 Customer Review: Cannery Row is almost like a book of short stories. There are some central stories that follow main characters, such as a gang of jobless, penniless hooligans known as "Mack and the Boys", and a marine biologist named Doc, but interspersed between these chapters are very short tales about everything... |

Travels With Charley: In Search of America from Penguin Books Price: $9.00 Customer Review: I read Travels with Charley after reading most of Steinbeck's novels. I enjoyed it so much that I immediately read it again. This work lets the reader get a glimpse of John Steinbeck, the American and the man. I put American first because Steinbeck, I believe, was one of those men who loved his... |

I was living, at the time, in 'Steinbeck Country,' Monterey, California--where Ed 'Doc' Ricketts kept his lab (referred to in "Cannery Row."). In this book,... |

Tortilla Flat from Penguin Books Price: $8.00 Customer Review: This was the first of John Steinbeck's books that I ever read and is still my favorite. The sweet humor that comes through is more a result of the book's wonderful writing style and wording than from the plot itself; although the combined character traits of the paisanos work perfectly together-from... |

The Winter of Our Discontent (Penguin Twentieth-Century Classics) from Penguin Books Price: $11.20 Customer Review: "The Winter of our Discontent" was published in 1961, just before Steinbeck received the Nobel Prize in 1962. The story is set in the late 1950s in New Baytown, a small (fictitious) New York -New England town which, Steinbeck tells us, had flourished during the whaling days of the mid-19th century.... |
