RE: Achtung Baby~
Very nice introduction. Welcome to the forum. I've not read much Steinback. What would you recommend?
Thank you :) For Steinbeck, it all depends on what your interested in since he has such a wide spectrum of books. If your not familiar with his work you should probably start out with Of Mice and Men because it's one of his popular books and it's kind of short so it'll give you a feel about Steinbeck's writing style. If you like that book then you should probably read some more of his short novels ( Ex: Tortilla Flat, The Pearl, etc.) before you get into his bigger and more 'taste' required books. The only reason I advise reading his shorter novels first is because I don't want you to waste time trying to read a big book by an author you end up not liking because with Steinbeck there isn't a middle ground; You either love him or hate him. A friend of mine read Of Mice and Men, picked up East of Eden, and barely read a chapter before she quit. It's kind of funny since East of Eden is my favorite book by him and the best book I've read so far. Of Mice and Men is really good, but if you can't imagine reading a book like Of Mice and Men that's 600 pages instead of 100, then you won't like his others.
I suggest you give Steinbeck a chance because he's an amazing writer. This is probably isn't even what you wanted to hear, so if you'd like me to make a list of recommendations I'd be more than happy too.

Achtung Baby~
I've never been apart of a discussion site like this before so sorry if my introduction is kind of awkward :/ I'm really bad at introductions anyways, but I'll try;
Hey!
I'm Hattanay (Or Hattie, creativity obviously being one of my virtues). I've read One Piece on and off for a year or so and I love it (: I'm not a big fan of the action genre but OP is more than just action and actually has a nice plot with well thought out and creative characters so that's probably why I like it.
I'm involved in OMUN, NHD, Kick Boxing, Kuntao Kali, and am currently on my school's varsity Cross Country team. I love reading and my favorite author is John Steinbeck. I also really like playing Yume Nikki and No More Heroes.
Manga-wise I've read (or am reading) One Piece, Yotsuba&!, Karakuridoji Ultimo, Katekyo Hitman Reborn!, Pet Shop Of Horrors, Franken Fran, Eyeshield 21, Absolute Boyfriend, School Mermaid, Mermaid Saga, Higurashi Series, Higabana Series, and some others I can't remember. Well, that's all I can think of to say and it's nice to meet all of you C:
