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.
One doesn't need to grow in those ways exclusively through books, though. (I haven't for a long time, thus my answer.) And that's really the only reason for j-whitt987 to read that book, since he only seems to be looking for something's that entertaining.

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

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