RE: Authors I Think Are Great: My Nominations for the Top 3 Monthly Contest – Favourite Authors
Ooooh, good choices! I was seriously considering Steinbeck as well for about the same reasons. I've read Of Mice and Men a few times now (my boys read it in school, and I've read it with them), and Grapes of Wrath is an absolute classic.
Thanks, and yeah, I think a few have brought up the point of how difficult it is to pick just 3 authors. When you have a lot of favorites, it's tough. You've seen the old Grapes of Wrath movie I'm sure, with Henry Fonda as Tom Joad & John Carradine as Jim the preacher?
God I hope Hollywood doesn't ever try to remake that movie!
Oh yes, I remember watching that Grapes of Wrath movie in high school. Loved it!
