Feel like I was too much dumbfuck back then to appreciate Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men, and I get the impression that, what was a beautiful emotional reading experience was completely lost on me at the time because of that fact. Glad enough time has passed to give it another shot. hbu?

I liked OMaM in high school. I just got a copy of Catcher, not sure if I missed anything with that one. I have a pretty good memory, though.

I want to give Great Gatsby another go because I love every other Fitzgerald book I’ve read as an adult.
I want to go back through Grapes of Wrath again but that’s because it was actually a very formative piece of art for me. I’m working on East of Eden though so it’s on the back burner for now.

I liked of mice and men at the time but have never gone back to read it. I do feel like it'd be a good reread.
My favorite book we read in high school was definitely Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man.
