Hey all.
In my English / Reading Literacy book we just got done reading a fasinating novval called Mice ^& Men by Jon Stineback.
I was wondering if anyone ellse here has read it?
It truelly is an awsome book about friendship, currige, and the struggle to stay sane.
If you havent read it and you're looking for a book to read, I strongly advise you to read Mice & Men.

Ah yes that was a great book, I read it either in ninth grade or tenth grade English, can't remember off hand.
I thought it was a book about tending rabbits.
lol
yeah i read that book freshman and junior year, good book
we had to do it as part of our english, and i have to say, never again.
the book was long, hard to understand, lennie got on my nerves and i really regret even picking it up
I read that book in school and read it after when I was older to better appreciate the writing. Steinbeck books are awesome!! the Grapes of Rath I suggest. Long but great!
Tending the rabits, and mercy killing?
It's wierd in that book though, because everything is pretty much forshadowed.
Think about it, Slim had to kill his dogs, Candy had to shute his old and sic dog, and Lennei ends up killing Kurly's wife (Who was a selfish hor), and then in the end, George has to kill Lennie? I mean yeah it was a great book, but still. I don't think I could ever kill my best friend, even if they were a little mental.

awsome book, and lol to the tending rabbits thing.
I read it last year, and had to compare it to the movie. loved them both, but the book was sooooo mutch better
i remember reading that book for english class in my last year of school. when i first started reading it i hated it. however, i ended up loving it. it's a brilliant book. stinebeck was an awesome writer. and it's one of my favourite books.
o and lol to the rabbits thing.
I read it, and finished it in one night... it was wonderful! I'd read it again if I got the chance. I cried at the end though when George had to shoot Lenny, I couldn't believe that a book would end like that. I just couldn't.
Back in those days, I guess mercy killing was legal. Lol
yeah I know, I couldn't believe that the book ended like that
Yeah, but I think he did it cuz he knew it was the best thing to do in the longrun.
Great book!
I as well as you Ray watched the movie..Even though I liked the book a lot more, I apreciate how well the guy who played Lennie did...

Steinbeck is briliant. I can't say I particularly enjoyed the plot, I didn't one bit when I read it. But the message was very elaborately woven into the text.
Every time a character's dream was about to come true, that dream came back and ruined itself. Just as Curley's wife was about to get a friend, the friend killed her. Just as Lennie was about to get his dream place, his imaginary rabbit taunted him.
It's a wonderful book to search through and try and figure out what other meanings Steinbeck is suggesting. Nothing at all happens in random, it all has a purpose--sometimes obvious, sometimes not so.
