10 Things You Should Know About The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck

John Steinbeck is my all time favorite author. The first book of his I read was "East of Eden" when I was in the fourth grade.


One Saturday afternoon I stumbled upon "East of Eden" starring James Dean. I was only able to see about half an hour before my sisters rudely changed the channel to some inane cartoon. But, in that brief moment in time I fell in love for the first time. Jame Dean has been my favorite actor ever since. The next time I went to the library I searched out the book and gobbled it up along with every other Steinbeck novel my library offered.
