I don't understand why The Grapes of Wrath and John Steinbeck are so beloved in the States, when they seem to pay no attention to the warnings within his book.

Amused to note on book supplier's website that while most authors simply have forename and surname listed, Steinbeck is listed as "Mr John Steinbeck" 😁 Loving the addition of "Mr"

Heading home on the bus with my current book. Somehow it’s taken me till now to read #Steinbeck #TheGrapesOfWrath. What an utterly brilliant novel. Think it could be up there with my favourites. #Friday #Goodreads

> “But the bank is only made of man. No, you’re wrong there—quite wrong there. The bank is something else than men. It happens that every man in a bank hates what the bank does, and yet the bank does it. The bank is something more than men, I tell you. It’s the monster. Men made it, but they can’t control it.”
