On the subject of Steinbeck, The Grapes of Wrath is an excellent novel, although I was younger when I read it and can now point to a dozen other novels that are worth reading over that one.
I'd really like to "get" Faulkner.
I've tried more times than I can count to read Heart of Darkness and have never been able to finish it. I feel like it's one of those books that really pays off at the the end...
