I still haven’t read the book, but I’ve seen John Ford’s film and it’s awesome! I recommend it to you all!

The book contains some amazing descriptions of landscapes and people. I was very impressed by that, even though I was not able to read it all… (Blushed face!)
But if you wish to get a feel of what Steinbeck means to literature, you can all embark on a much easier read: Tortilla Flat. It’s really funny, and Steinbeck’s topics are still there…
Oh, and I definitely agree with you on that: the movie is awesome!
