| Just finished the Grapes of Wrath

Loved it. Was too lazy to read it through high school. Maybe I wouldn't have appreciated it back then either. For me, I just liked it as life isn't much different today. Is that who we are as well? Poor migrant farmers struggling to find our livelihood in the internet farms of 0's and 1's? As much as the "big money farmers" still exists in the forms of large corporations, government, too big to fail, with workers sustaining the status quo.

Why do such people need a million acres of land these days? They have a black hole that can never be filled with happiness on the backs of the misery of others.

On the other hand, reading an old book though is like watching an old movie. Feels like a black and white with no Larry Flint hug-dance sequences. Kinda sucks since it takes 8 hours to read a 500 page book, for me at least.
