Finally picked up Grapes of Wrath, and damn is it good. Steinbeck has such beautiful prose when he's not writing southern dialect.

What other classics are still compelling today? If it's any help, I don't really dig Vonnegut, Asimov, and Huxley.

    In the reading days of my youth I remember liking Something Wicked This Way Comes by Ray Bradbury

    Also autocorrect tried to change his name to Ray Headbutt :data-laughing:

      I remember really liking Fahrenheit 451 in high school, but I also liked The Fountainhead back then as well :shrug-outta-hecks: . Adding this.

      Bradbury is a great suggestion. I really loved Dandelion Wine when I read it. As I recall, it's pretty episodic, so it's an easy one to pick up and put down if you just have a short time to read.
