    The Grapes of Wrath is a fantastic book, very sad, though! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

    Grapes of Wrath is one of those books I faked reading in High School and promised myself I would actually get to. Someday...

    Enjoy!

    I love all of those pictures! I've never read The Grapes of Wrath. I switched to Honors classes my junior year and they read it the year before. I'm going to have get to this eventually. I feel out of the loop.

    Steinbeck is one of my favorite authors. I used to teach The Pearl to my English students. Enjoy your first read of the year!

    I read that in high school and should probably spend time reading it again. I'm sure I'd get something different out of it these days.

    I loved it in high school. I love it now. But it is a much richer read this time.

    Wow. What special effects! I finished reading Lacuna by Barbara Kingsolver on Jan. 1st. It took me a month to read.

    Thanks for stopping by on my Top Ten Tuesday.

    Happy New Year.

    It was a little tricky. First I saved the little photos as videos at YouTube. Then I used a free conversion tool on the Web to change them to .GIF files.
