Steinbeck is awesome! I probably haven't read Grapes since high school, but I remember really liking it. I'll have to give it another go this summer. I started reading Cannery Row after visiting Monterrey/Carmel recently and it was okay. Didn't really grab me, but having the area fresh on my mind was kind of cool. I don't remember liking Of Mice and Men but I THINK I liked East of Eden (if I've even read it, don't remember.) Steinbeck rulez!

Saw Super 8 this weekend for Father's Day. It was pretty fun. Totally brings back that early 80s kids-adventure vibe pretty well. Saw a preview for the latest Transformers, blah. Loud, breaking glass, shiny metal, puke.
