Kidding aside, I have thought of him.

Love the way this nonfiction plays out like a history mystery. Just getting to J. Edgar Hoover now...I really read slowly and not every day.

Only way it gets more interesting is if you can relate to addiction.

The Naked and the Dead, Norman Mailer

Written when he was just 24. Autobiographical. About his ww2 experiences in the Pacific.
Good.

Just finished Cannery Row by John Steinbeck. Somehow I missed many of these American classics when I was a kid.

Next up: Darwin Comes To Town by Menno Schilthuizen

Funny, I just finished Grapes of Wrath. I realized there was a hole in my education that needed patching. What an incredible ending...

Steinbeck's The Winter of Our Discontent was great.
Also really liked In Dubious Battle

Never read a bad Steinbeck book.
But i think I like Hemingway even better.

Before i had kids i was literate... i don't remember much of east of Eden but i remember it fascinated me and, if I'm thinking of the right book, there's a very emotional part that involves a couple of people riding horses... again, it's been a long time, but i remember that part being so well written, it felt like i was living in the book...
