Question: Which of these books would you prefer and why!?
The Grapes of Wrath by Ernest Hemingway
Angela's Ashes by Frank McCourt
I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou
In Cold Blood by Truman Capote

I have to read one of these books, but I don't know which one is more interesting!. Which one would you read out of these 4!.Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
The Grapes of Wrath by Steinbeck, you mean!?

It depends on what kind of writing you like and which themes interest you!. I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings is about racial issues!. Angela's Ashes features a man's upbringing in poverty in Ireland!. The Grapes of Wrath is depressing, again about poverty, but this time set in the States!. In Cold Blood is about two murderers!.

Personally, I'd be more interested in In Cold Blood or I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings because I haven't read them!. Angela's Ashes is good, but The Grapes of Wrath depressed me for days!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I'd rank them like this!. I haven't read In Cold Blood!.

1!. The Grapes of Wrath by JOHN STEINBECK!.
2!. I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou
3!. Angela's Ashes by Frank McCourt

The Grapes of Wrath is one of my favorites!. I didn't really enjoy the other two!.

The Grapes of Wrath is significantly longer than the other three, if your looking for the easier novel I'd pick the one by Maya Angelou!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Angela's Ashes by Frank McCourt, because it is a very moving book =)Www@QuestionHome@Com
