Today I am reading another John Steinbeck. This time it is To a God Unknown. Very good so far but I am only about 40 pages in. Finished Looking After Pigeon by Maud Carol Markson last night.

Finished John Steinbeck's To a God Unknown last night and then started Cormac McCarthy's The Road this morning. If anyone is familiar with both books, it's a little bit of an eerie transition.
