Of Mice and Men: Intro (Book #3)



Back atcha with another book! I have started reading the classic Of Mice and Men, by Nobel Prize-winning author John Steinbeck. Steinbeck was born in 1902 inn Salinas, California, the setting for most of this novel. Of Mice and Men follows the plight of two ranch workers as they search for a job during the Great Depression. Some of the experiences in the book are based off of Steinbeck’s own experiences around this time period.   


Despite containing content marked as vulgar, racist, and offensive, Of Mice and Men finds its way into required reading for many schools. For now I can predict that this story will most likely take a saddened mood. Anyway, I have to get reading. See you guys soon.
