Day 23: Steinbeck (Part 1)

no real blog today, just a little on reading.

that said, i am reading cannery row, which i'll probably follow with to a god unknown both by steinbeck. i really want to go through all of his novels, and this year probably is going to be a year to attempt that. i really, really, like steinbeck. i think, overall, his novels are better than many "classic" american writers, and he quickly becoming one of my favorite authors. as i read more this year, i am going to write a whole blog on steinbeck and other authors.

another note: i couldn't get through good omens. i really wanted to, but there is just something with comedic books that rub me the wrong way (i tried to read christopher moore's lamb in 2008/2009 and had the same issue). maybe though, it's just the fact that neil gaiman actually wrote very little for omens and the novel was mostly handled by terry prachett. who knows?
