The Winter of Our Discontent by John Steinbeck

The genius of this book was that I really felt like I was living a dis-contentious life in a quiet seaside town in the middle of winter. However, I should add that I'm not a big fan of visiting towns in their off-season - whether it be a pier in the winter or a college campus in the summer. It's just creepy. So it's no surprise this wasn't my favorite. I could not pay attention throughout this book and could barely participate in the discussion during book club. Ah well, c'est la vie.
