Dull sublunary lover’s love who’s love is sense cannot admit absence because it doth remove those things which elemented it. But we of a love so much refined that ourselves know not what it is inter assured of the mind care less eyes lips and hands to miss.

John Steinbeck is portrayed in the picture on the right. Seems like a really interesting fellow. He wrote The Grapes of Wrath and East of Eden. These are two books that I read this year. These stories take place largely in early 20th century California, particularly in the Salinas Valley. Reading these novels gives one a sense of America in a time past. A peak into a time swept away by industry. These harrowing tales are not easy or light hearted. The language is classical American slang with accents and spellings that capture a funny people in an incredible time of our nation’s history. I read East of Eden because it was listed on Jordan Peterson’s top 100 book list: https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/109006.Dr_Jordan_B_Peterson_s_Book_List
I read Grapes of Wrath because I found a 1st edition copy of it laying around Grammy’s house. Both were excellent reads, thought provoking, harrowing.
Why do we use it?
It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
Pros
- Good characters
Cons
- old pages
- is sad
