/lit/ - Literature

I'm assembling a team of Great Americans

New /lit/ activitiy:
Claim an author.
Over the next year, collect as much of that author's literature and literature about them as you can.
Read as much of that literature as you can.
Become the resident scholar of that author on /lit/.

I shall become your local Steinbeck scholar.
I've read:
>East of Eden
>The Grapes of Wrath
>Cannery Row
>Tortilla Flat
>Of Mice and Men
>Travels With Charley
>The Wayward Bus
On my shelf to read:
>The Red Pony
>In Dubious Battle
>The Moon is Down
>The Pearl
