Quote:The first time reading The Grapes of Wrath I can remember being so hungry that I would find a good stopping point in order to eat. My son brought me a first edition he found in a bookstore in Scotland. I wish I would have brought it on this trip with me.

I finished Blood Meridian, btw. What a story. At first I didn't care for the ending, but it grew on me as I thought through the different interpretations. Cormac McCarthy has a way of unsettling the soul.

Yeah, just when you think the kid was going to have a happy ending to his story, then...

If you like a great creepy story, try McCarthy's Child of God.

My favorite scene in the wonderful film adaptation of The Grapes of Wrath:
