I don’t believe I’ve read either. I’ll put those on my list. I’d love to be proven wrong. Usually I’m more into light hearted things, which doesn’t necessarily seem to be Steinbeck’s wheelhouse (I can be sad in real life, after all), but that doesn’t mean I can’t enjoy more down to earth or down right depressing works.
I still hate Steinbeck as an author. Don’t think that would have changed if I had read any of his works later in life.

You know what. I haven’t read him in a very long time. I’ll get back to you. Do you have a favorite? (I’m vetoing The Red Pony.)
Edit: Guessing The Grapes of Wrath. I remember not liking it as a kid. But at least it wasn’t The Red Pony.
