"But between the people who produce things over and above what they consume, and send them out into the world, and the people who don’t produce anything and who do nothing but consume, which are the great human beings? Which are the important human beings? If you ask yourself this, it’s not much of a puzzle, is it?"

childrens books offer the best takes on capitalism and poverty change my mind 😭

really liking it so far!! love that its middle grade too!!

how steinbeck describes nature......amazing

reading for school

audiobooks are s tier !!!!! so much nostalgia from reading this again and i might listen to the entire series for no reason <3 am having enormous fun

as it goes on, the more and more i realize that i dont like this book. but at least the narrator has such an amazing voice.

whoops was supposed to read killing time in a warm place but i got distracted again. anyway, i am SO excited to read this to the point i got halfway thru the book in one sitting. i had waited to read this ever since i was 11 years old. its a dream to read it now <3

first time listening to an audio book!!!!! its a tad bit too flowery for me and i do think ill like song of achilles more but its fun to listen to while doing chores
