Novella? that's one of the greatest pieces of American literature....written by John Steinbeck!

It's so sad, though. I remember reading that my freshman year of high school. That and "The Pearl." Steinbeck is such a depressing author.

you are right...but his works such as Of Mice and Men and The Grapes of Wrath take place during the Great Depression of the 1920s....moreover, the work you mentioned and others such as Cannery Row focus on the improverished and the downtrodden.

as you suggest...not light reading :sweat:

Although I haven't read much American literature. I have read Cannery Row and Of Mice and Men..... Great books.

Of Mice and Men was made into a movie that I liked a lot too.

BTW my hearing is going to be OK. Turns out it is wax buildup causing the problem Unfortunately the fluid the doc gave me has caused my left ear to be totally blocked so I have no hearing at all on that side now but it will be OK.

Thanks for all the kind thoughts.

Oh my...I must have been really tired last night. I misread and thought it was Wynter who was having the ear problems. I should never post after midnight when I'm really tired. :doh: :ashamed:

I hope I didn't traumatise Anime Dad with that picture of Harry. :mrgreen:

Anyway, Anime Dad...I'm glad to hear everything's okay with you. :victory:

just finished reading the "novella" called "Of Mice and Men". xD

I remember seeing films of both "Of Mice and Men" and "The Pearl" in high school. It was for American Literature and our class had been studying John Steinbeck's novels. I actually enjoyed that class - it was one of the classes I actually looked forward to attending.

So of course I had to look for C'Mon Toshi on YouTube...and lets just say I will be scarred for life. :mrgreen:

That is seriously funny. But now I have the quandary of wondering just which of my friends would like me to email it to them, and which would be offended, lol.


@ Anime Dad - pleased to hear it's not anything too serious. :dancing:

^ yeah it was sad and funny xD HECK WITH THE RABBITS!!! my english teacher cried :sweat: and we are going to watch the movie today. my teacher is more excited than us to watch it xD

If you hadnt said it I would have. :hehe:

The Red Pony by him was a lovely sad piece too. I was on a Steinbeck jag at one point and read everything by him at that time.

LOL no probs. I like Harrison Ford as an actor, but I prefer him with clothes ON. :)

I'm still deaf in my left ear. But it should be OK by Friday.

I wasn't here for the monkey hand, but it was prolly from Nobuta wo Produce as you say. Tis the only Drama I know where they dedicated a whole epi to that thing. :rofl:

@AD, what's up with the ear tho? Docs say anything?

Er, my ear was partially blocked by a buildup of wax (eeeeeew!) The doc gave me some fluid to soften it, but it made me lose my hearing completely on my left side. I'm going to get it syringed out on Friday.

Ohhhhhh... that happened to my friend a year ago. Freaked her out, but it was all good in the end. I clean out my ears after every shower to avoid the build up. :bleh:

It scared me too, Wyn-chan. You don't realise how important your hearing is until you don't have it any more :( When I thought of all the things i would miss if I was deaf....

But I'm glad everything worked out. My prayers always work ;)

Yea, for a while I used to see black spots. My eye perscription is really bad so I was always a lil'' blind, but when I started seeing black spots I got really scared. I can't imagine what my life would be like if I lost my sight. Too scary. Of course, my eyes are better now, but still. Scary thoughts.
