What a great read. Makes me wish I was born before the advent of the online workplace, the abandonment of traditional gender roles and the dissolution of the nuclear family. I almost felt envious of the Joad family when I was reading it. They may have had a lot of hardships to face but at least they had each other.

Yeah, such a great book. Perfectly represents the waste and absurdity of large scale business. I especially liked the section talking about the takeovers being decided by the faceless bank.
I definitely would not want to live through this part of history though. I can understand your romanticism of the time leading up to the story but not the actual story timeline.

I feel like we're gearing up for round 2 and this one's gonna make the Depression Era look like a picnic.

Fantastic book, but I don't know if I'd want to live it.

This book turned me into a leftist environmentalist.
