De skönaste planer, de må vara uppgjorda av möss eller människor, går ofta om intet, säger Robert Burns i sin dikt som gett namn åt John Steinbecks mästerliga lilla roman om de två kringvandrande lantarbetarna Lennie och George. George har hand om förståndet och fantasin och får ständigt för den snälle men klent begåvade Lennie berätta om deras gemensamma framtidsdröm, en egen bondgård i Kalifornien. --worldcat

I picked this up because I'm on a mission to read more of the books other people think you should have read. I hope it improved me in some way, because, spoiler alert, it has a sad end. And you can see it coming for the whole time. And I don't know what the answer is for Lennie and George, but they didn't deserve this.

It's good. It's tense, and anxious, and you're waiting for the other shoe to drop all the way through, and then when it does, you're simultaneously shocked and horrified, but also, not remotely surprised.

It's short, though, so there's that. And next time someone sends me a list of 99 books I should have read by now, I can tick this one off.
