The ending is so bleak, yet at the same time oddly uplifting - we do what we need to do in order to survive, not because today is worth surviving for but because tomorrow may be better.

Nicely put.

The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck

Hate hate hate hate hate hate hate. I cannot STAND that book. I loathe it completely. I even wrote an essay comparing it to De Sade's 120 Days using Aristotle's definition of Great Art as a criteria and completely owned it. I cannot stand that book.

If you read this to the end and did not cry out loud, you have no heart. It is the most poignant tale of mans helplessness in the face of mans inhumanity that I have ever read and yet, it never completely dims the light of hope. The ending is so bleak, yet at the same time oddly uplifting - we do what we need to do in order to survive, not because today is worth surviving for but because tomorrow may be better.

The ending left me cold. Sure, it's symbolic and all that, but I didn't give a fuck about the characters.

I love "Of Mice and Men" too. I've stopped reading "The Grapes of Wrath" while I tuck into "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies".

Does it have the "Duck and cover" advice for nuclear attacks?

I probably shouldn't have purchased my kindle 2. I just blew $30 on scifi without shifting my lazy ass. Peter Hamilton is a decent author and I look forward to a good fiction binge after a ragged semester. But fuck. $30!!! I can't afford that right now. Ah, well, I found one book for free. That was within my price range.
