I have never read anything by Steinbeck before-shame I know. This collection has given me a great introduction to his work. I can't wait to delve into more of Steinbeck's work.

I really enjoyed “The Flight” and “The Red Pony” from this collection. “The Flight” reminded me of why I love Westerns-the sense of place and the fight for survival.

I usually read with an intent to give away the book once I'm done. I'm hanging on to this one for a rare reread.
