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.

Tortilla Flat is my favourite Steinbeck novel. I think the idea of presenting the misadventures of a group of drunken, lecherous paisanos as if they were the knights of the round table is a great premise. It's far more light-hearted than most of Steinbeck's work and a really fun read.
I really liked that one as well
