Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck

This is an amazing novel that tells of two middle-aged men who are traveling the country during the Great Depression trying to find work. One of the men, Lenny, is mentally handicapped and the other man, George, has been watching over him since they were young. When the two men finally find work at a ranch, Lenny and George are forced to make hard decisions that will forever alter their lives and those around them. It is an awesome read and offers excitement and tears in every chapter. This novel has also been made into a major motion picture which is worth watching as well.
