I finished John Steinbeck's The Pastures of Heaven today and once again am blown away with Steinbeck's skill. Descriptions are his craft and he is the master. You cannot help but be moved and feel the exact emotion he wants you to feel. This sounds strange but his writing makes you able to hear, see, smell, feel, and taste exactly what he is trying to wrap up in words.
Pastures is a book of interrelated stories focusing on the defining moment's of certain individuals lives and how relatively small incidents colored their existence. I highly recommend it to those especially already taken with Steinbeck's style and wit.
