************* Thank you, Joy. His IN DUBIOUS BATTLE is in
there too. I liked OF MICE AND MEN. I read it a long time
ago, and I just started it again here recently. I don't know
if I'm going to have any luck with the others. I'd really
like to read THE GRAPES OF WRATH, but it's killing me to read
Dos Passos's 42ND PARALLEL. The characters are interesting
but nothing much is happening. The child in me demands
action. The only thing that allowed me to continue was that
he slacked off on the Marxist rhetoric after a while. I don't
like that, and it has nothing to do with political
preferences. I don't like Horatio Algers either.
Thanks again, miker
