I found a book of Steinbeck stories at a yard sale and it included it. In school the only Steinbeck we read was The Pearl. The book also has The Red Pony which I liked. What did y’all think of Mice and Men? I thought it was a good but sad book and I watched the movie (black and white one) afterwards. I didn’t see the foreshadowing until after the fact.

Had to read it in high school. We also watched the movie adaption with Gary Sinise and John Malkovich, for whatever reason. The only thing that really stuck with me was having some kind of fit during the movie. I have no idea why, but I started giggling uncontrollably when George shot Lennie. Maybe Malkovich could really pull off the extra chromosome, or maybe I just cracked after years of public education.
Oh, and I'm still not sure I didn't imagine the guy wearing one glove filled with lotion. If I did, and this doesn't make any sense, then I guess I never fully recovered from that episode.
I’ve had giggle fits before but not during that part lol
