QUOTE A DAY - April 5, 2011
Today is another one of my special issues. One of my
favorite books of all time is Steinbeck's Grapes of Wrath. Today
we have quotations from that book that I collected over the years.
I hope you like it and maybe one or two will be sufficiently
motivated to pick up a copy of that American classic.
Best,
JA
