Just finished two books for the first time. The Grapes of Wrath which I enjoyed but did give me depression for a few days afterwards ... A Man In Full by Tom Wolfe ... the payoff was not worth the effort tho others may have different opinions

Probably going to start Neal Stephenson's The Baroque Cycle next ... this will be my third or fourth try getting through Quicksilver

The Grapes of Wrath is such a great book. Probably my favorite book of all. I also really liked East of Eden which actually may be just as great. What are some other Steinbeck books that hold up to these two? I have Moon is Down but have not read it yet.

Other Steinbeck reccomendations please!

Personally, I thought East of Eden dominated Grapes of Wrath ... EoE was probably the most engrossed I've ever been in a story ... it's written perfectly ... I haven't read any other Steinbeck
