I recently read an article where they had found St. Exupery's crash site and a bracelet he was wearing at the time. The German pilot who shot him down is still alive. As irony would have it he had been an admirer and at the time had no idea who was piloting the plane with French markings.

Just The Grapes of Wrath for me.

Quite a few goodies in this lot! Ive read The Grapes of Wrath, Rebecca, The Yearling, and Wind, Sand and Stars. I love Christopher Morley, but Kitty Foyle is one of the few of his I haven't read. I was kind of surprised to see Mein Kampf on this list, but I guess it makes sense.

I have the The Grapes of Wrath on my TBR List.

I've read The Grapes of Wrath, All This, and Heaven, too is in my house but I haven't read it yet, I read Rebecca decades ago - can't remember it though, I read The Yearling a year or so ago, after seeing a movie about the author. I like Christopher Morley's books about books, but haven't read anything else by him, eg Kitty Foyle.

I've read Mein Kampf and Rebecca: in my opinion, Daphne Du Maurier is the better writer.

I read The Yearling when I was about 10 or 11 years old. I found it rather disturbing. I might re-read it and see how I feel about it after so many years.

The Grapes of Wrath and Mein Kampf in the same year! Another era in human experience and thought. Something like what we're seeing today in terms of tumultuous change.

I think Mein Kampf was published in Germany in something like 1925 --
worldcat lists a 1929 date for an English Mein Kampf. Being on the bestseller list in 1939 represents to me a sense of both interest and fear.
