steinbeck's dry style completely removes the romantic aspect of arthurian cycle from those stories, but the whole narration is enjoyable and coherent even if i dont approve of some of the choices he made gluing bunch of legends together
and ur correct, it reads a lot like the old testament

Maybe it's time to get way too invested and read some older versions, I don't like Steinbeck that much anyways. Grapes of Wrath was ok but I hold a weird illogical grudge against the book because I hate Henry Fonda and he was in the movie

That is an OUTLANDISH tag foisted upon me against my will and it quite obviously is a completely false representation. And you KNOW IT!!
 
The next book I am considering to read:

In 2018, Karp said he is a socialist[61] and a progressive ("but not woke").[10] In addition he said he voted for Hillary Clinton.[62] In 2024, the Financial Times identified Karp as "a major Biden donor".[63] Current Affairs editor Nathan J. Robinson wrote in 2024 that Karp "seems to have some idiosyncratic personal definition in mind that has nothing in common with the socialist tradition".[64] In 2024, Karp said that while he was "not thrilled" with the direction of the Democratic Party, he would still be "voting against Trump".[65] That same year, he called for the Democrats to project more strength, saying, "Are we tough enough to scare our adversaries so we don’t go to war? Do the Chinese, Russians and Persians think we're strong? The president needs to tell them 'if you cross these lines, this is what we’re going to do', and you have to then enforce it." He has also protested open-border immigration policies in the U.S. and Europe: "You have an open border, you get the far right. [...] And once you get them, you can't get rid of them."[10] In 2025, he said that he views himself as a "classic [sic] liberal".

that reminds me, completed Barry Eichengreen's The Populist Temptation the other day
lot of stating the obvious but it was nice to re-brush up on as he dove into some gini coefficient economic stats a la scheidel's great leveler

It turns out that Karp has a number of ideas, beliefs, etc. that are definitely not Leftist friendly and certainly would make a woke tard choke on his vape.
