You mean On Mice and Men? Meh, it was a decent enough book, but too much cannery stuff. For social commentary, I vastly prefer the work of writers such as Ella Fitzgerald, whose book about the life and times of John Gatsby demonstrates so vividly how the so-called "1 percent" can, if allowed an environment unburdened by excessive regulation, become the job creators we need them to be. Or you can go forward in time a bit, read some Orwell (even though he's British, he had some decent ideas). His novel Animal House explores the dangers of socialism and is an excellent warning against Obamacare and pigs. It's a shame our current administration doesn't study literature a little more closely.

For me, the most inspirational classic work is Dr. Frankenstein by Boris Karloff. In these times of economic stress (the stock market, after all, has been on a steady decline since O-blah-blah took office), it's great to look at a work that celebrates the advent of new technology and the ways that our creations will change the world and solve our problems without behavior modification or undue stress on the status quo.

I guess what I'm really trying to say is: drill, baby, drill.

I'm surprised the writers of Townhall could get to the end of that book. I would assume they masturbated themselves into a coma reading about how the local police planned to start a riot at the campsite and bust up some heads and arrest everyone who was poor.

Haha, a charade you are.

Coco LaFemme: All kidding aside, how many people running for the GOP nomination have even heard of John Steinbeck, much less read him? My guess would be zero.

Newt Gingrich masturbated to the scene where the farmers are foreclosed upon and kicked off their land.

Michelle Bachman and Rick Santorum thought it was a bible story, and got very confused by the turtle crossing the road, and coudn't finish.

Mitt Romney read it, understood it, wrote a very convincing essay about it, but then stopped caring about it.

RON PAUL didn't read it, because it wasn't in the constitution, but he's against the concept of the book.

Herman Cain can't stop thinking about Rose of Sharon's boobs.

I wasn't like every other kid, you know, who dreams about being an astronaut, I was always more interested in what bark was made out of on a tree. Richard Gere's a real hero of mine. Steinbeck. Steinbeck would be another person who's a hero. The words he's created over the years, I don't really read them, but the fact that he's making it, I respect that. I care desperately about what I do. Do I know what product I'm selling? No. Do I know what I'm doing today? No. But I'm here, and I'm gonna give it my best shot.

Look, can I just point out how angry I am that you under educated farks haven't commented more on the greatest American book every written?
