I hate this book and I'm not defending it. However, to say that there is no reason to read a book "with a moral" because you "know who you are" is incredibly stupid. Part of growing intellectually, socially and morally has to do with questioning and challenging what you believe and think on a regular basis.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

My friend's sister let me borrow The Grapes of Wrath. It's not my niche.

I mentioned it as one of the books I hate, so I'm not exactly unbiased.

I'm jumping on the bandwagon as well. I would go for something else instead. *NM*
