I've read this book at three different times in my life - high school, as a young newlywed, and as a mom with two teenage kids. Each time I take away something different. Steinbeck truly writes for all of us. The character of Doc is my favorite - brilliant, driven, but deeply flawed. Who among us doesn't carry varied pieces of the same life?
