Of Mice and Men - John Steinbeck

 The novel is about two guys, George and Lennie. The former is a small man with sharp and strong features while the latter is an impressive individual and quite dumb. I really enjoyed the novel, this being the first novel that I read, written by Steinbeck . My favourite quotation from the text is:
"A water snake glided smoothly up the pool, twisting its periscope head from side to side; and it swam the length of the pool and came to the legs of a motionless heron that stood in the shallows. A silent head and beak lanced down and plucked it out by the head, and the beak swallowed the little snake while its tail waved frantically."

A novel about life...
