I vividly remember getting the cliff notes for “Of Mice and Men”, realizing it was nearly as long as the actual book, and begrudgingly hammering through the book the night before the test.
Steinbeck had a knack for saying a lot with a little. “The pearl” is another of his works that is also incredibly short but you could easily discuss it well past its length.
I highly recommend the “grapes of wrath” to anyone who hasn’t read it as well. Its account of the brutal knock on effects of the dust bowl and the nature of human kindness and sadism left a mark on my life that never left.
