I couldn't care less about your dull proverbs.

Dull is just a negativity to everything. I was only trying to be kind to an insufficient personality.I would not want to be like you .Now you can have the last word because I am certain that is so important to you.Good bye little boy.

'The Grapes of Wrath' and maybe 'The Pearl' too. I haven't read many books of John Steinbeck tho.

East of Eden is good also

Not to mention West of Eden. Even better.
It's just Eden itself that sucks, really.

Travels with Charlie was a little amusing,think it was his last book.A little insight into the American zeitgeist.
