Day 9 — Someone you wish you could meet.

John Steinbeck,
You are beyond doubt one of my heroes. Although you passed away over 50 years ago, you are definitely someone I would love to meet. I first discovered you in the 7th grade when I read “Of Mice and Men.” I remember finishing that book in awe and after that, constantly scanning library shelves for your amazing work. To this day, you remain my favorite writer. My all time favorite has got to be “The Grapes of Wrath” because that was justly your first great book and also your last great novel. Your legacy truly lives on through your work.
