I am one of those lucky people who sees a movie in their heads when they read and details really do it for me. Steinbeck writes simple, relatable characters that take unexpected turns. I can imagine myself in their shoes since they&#8217;re just so normal. Fitzgerald writes larger-than-life colorful characters that are so much fun to follow. His books seem like straightforward reads at first glance but as you get through them you start to realize how many Easter eggs he wove in. You&#8217;ll find a new one every time you reread his work. He sucked as a person, but was a master of writing a good story!&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\"
