Revisited the an amazing book.... really holds up to the present.

Reproducing below quote frm the book:

And the great owners, who must lose their land in an upheaval, the great owners with access to history, with eyes to read history and to know the great fact: when property accumulates in too few hands it is taken away. And that companion fact: when a majority of the people are hungry and cold they will take by force what they need. And the little screaming fact that sounds through all history: repression works only to strengthen and knit the repressed. The great owners ignored the three cries of history. The land fell into fewer hands, the number of the dispossessed increased, and every effort of the great owners was directed at repression. The money was spent for arms, for gas to protect the great holdings, and spies were sent to catch the murmuring
of revolt so that it might be stamped out.

and the ever awesome:

and in the eyes of the people there is the failure; and in the eyes of the hungry there is a growing wrath. In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage.

I get shivers just reading it,,, seems like Steinback was inventing awesomeness back when it wasnt even a word!

@Blastwave: Does B&N provide any method of payment that would be possible for those who don't hold any cards?

There are three modes of payment at B&N

Credit Card / Debit Card

PayPal



You can get paypal balance from people here on PG I reckon.
