Cathy is scary man. But like, I don't dislike her... The character work... I honestly am so curious as to how Steinbeck is able to extract so much out of his characters with simple situational storytelling and interactions. Truly remarkable.

I've been wanting to get to this for a while now and since the Netflix series release a few weeks ago I figured I would wait to watch the series until I read the book.
Only being on page 70, I can already understand the reason for this being regarded as the greatest American story. Steinbeck is a master of prose and investing you in his characters. I am curious to see how the story develops!
