Of Mice and Men | John Steinbeck

I often heard references to this book,and because of the #authoramonth2023 #johnsteinbeck challenge, I now understand all the buzz. George and Lennie travel to the Salinas Valley in California to work on a ranch during the Great Depression. Lennie is a man of tremendous size,but has the mind of a child. George is small and quick, and does his best to protect his friend. Spare, beautiful writing. Tragic. Unforgettable. #1937 #192025

dabbe When I would show the Gary Sinise-John Malcovich movie version after my juniors read it, you could hear sniffles out in the audience, especially from the teenage boys. And they already had read it and knew what was coming! And this one reads almost like a drama, doesn't it? The dialogue is already beautifully written, and each chapter is a new setting. I love this book. ❣️ 2d
DivineDiana @dabbe I can understand. It is heartbreaking on many levels. 💔 2d
Librarybelle Good choice! This is one I have not read, but definitely a true classic 1d

“Of course,” the inspector remarked, with the naivety of the corrupt, “if he had really been rich, he would not be in prison.”

I haven‘t read this in years and years, but it still has the effect on me that it did then. George and Lenny are friends in a world of migrant workers where no one has friends. There is a lot of fear and sadness and meanness in this one. Although I‘ve read other Steinbeck books, this one always comes to mindfirst.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

TheAromaofBooks I read this one last year for the first time. I was really blown away by how much emotion and thoughtfulness Steinbeck was able to pack into such a short story. 2w
Bklover @TheAromaofBooks Yes! For such a short book it‘s very intense! 2w

These are my two reads for #AuthorAMonth. I feel that classics have an advantage over historical fiction in situating the reader in a certain time. Mice in particular was insightful into the conditions of Depression-era work and views on intellectual disability. It‘s my first time reading Steinbeck since high school, and while I enjoyed these, two is enough. 😉 Both were well narrated, especially Gary Sinise performing Mice.

Cinfhen Gary Sinese narratedTravels with Charley, which really elevated my appreciation of Steinbeck‘s writing 2w
Megabooks @Cinfhen I thought about reading that but I think two is enough for me. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 2w
gossamerchild I remember reading Travels with Charley and really liking it, but Mice destroyed me 😆 2w
Megabooks @gossamerchild when they shoot Lenny no differently than they shot the dog, it broke my heart! 2w
gossamerchild @Megabooks have you seen the movie with Gary Sinise? Totally brutal 😭😭 2w
