Of Mice and Men

The famous Mark Twain quote "I didn't have time to write you a short letter, so I wrote you a long one" is now considered to be a misattribution, that Twain never said.

Nonetheless, whoever did say it - this book made me think of it. Truly it takes skill, craft, and artistry to write well and also be succinct.

This book feels perfect not because there's nothing else to add, but because there's nothing else to take away.

This book captured my imagination in 120 pages. And now it will stay with me for a while.

An excellent book to read on a sitting. Gives you a taste of what was life in the country in early 20th century US. Although a short book, goes deep into the diversity of human nature, and the toughness of life.
