I read this book a very long time ago and loved it. In my opinion it is one of Steinbeck's best novels and classified a modern classic for a very good reason. This is my copy and I plan to read it again (as soon as my huge list of to-be-read books gets smaller).
It's Faulkner, if you like Faulkner then you must also read Absolom Absolom to get really into Quentin's isms
