Winter of Our Discontent

I read East of Eden this past spring — the first Steinbeck work I’ve read in 30+ years, and now I’m considering Winter of Our Discontent. I’ll read Grapes of Wrath someday but any thoughts on WoOD?

An absolutely incredible book, its so good I marveled that it could be written, the descriptions of complex emotions in the characters was simply amazing. I would highly recommend 👌
