    My old VHS copy of "The Grapes of Wrath" finally began falling apart, so I ordered a DVD version from Amazon.

    Steinbeck's finest novel, in my opinion.

    ...and you'll find it so much better to watch on DVD rather than old Video tape

    I love Steinbeck. The books are great, and the movies made from the books ain't bad either. In high school, we were assigned one or two of Steinbeck's books, then I found as many of them as I could, and read them all. I still have them too, and with the benefit of being able to search online, one day I'll check and see if there is anything by him that I don't have. I didn't like The Pearl, and I didn't care much for his King Arthur book either.

    I think "Of Mice and Men" is one of the two saddest books I ever read. I don't think I have read, "The Grapes of Wrath." I'm pretty sure I haven't seen the movie. Should I?

    "In Dubious Battle" is another Steinbeck winner.

    Of course, Little Lady!
    You can check the great array of prices of used copies on Amazon, some as low as $8.00!

    Well, I might have to take out a mortgage on my house but I'll see about buying it. :D

    I liked some of Steinbeck's books, at least two of them, Grapes of Wrath which I read twice and Of Mice And Men. And I've seen the movies.
