Google and book authors and publishers have until 11:59 EST tonight to submit a revised settlement to their legal dispute over digital book rights. It's likely they'll file their comments very close to the deadline. The revisions will be submitted to a federal court conducting a fairness review of the deal. And the move will mark the latest step in a near four-year battle that has raised new questions...

If you knew you were going to stranded on a deserted island for a full year with no cable, iPod, DVD/Blue Ray or any other assorted form of entertainment and only had room for five books, which five books would it be? Me? The Histories of Herodotus, The Divine Comedy by Dante, the complete Essays of Montaigne, The Complete Poems of Yeats and East of Eden by John Steinbeck. You?

Cannery Row in Monterrey, California is a poem, a stink and a grating noise, a quality of light, a tone, a habit, a nostalgia, a dream ... Its inhabitants are, as the man once said, 'whores, pimps, gamblers, sons of bitches,' by which he meant Everybody." John Steinbeck, Cannery Row All these people that you mention Yes, I know them, they're quite lame I had to rearrange their faces And give them...

I may have mentioned that I've been on tour and not been able to get to a computer recently. Or at least not enough to be able to read up on the news and report back. I am therefore writing this in the middle of half term with over three pages of notes regarding news stories that have come and gone over the last month and a half. I'm binning all updates on stories we've already reported on and just...

J Clinton Hill submits: Sunday morning I found myself in the family room pedaling furiously on my spinning cycle while watching John Steinbeck’s classic film adapted novel, The Grapes of Wrath , with a young Henry Fonda and slew of other Hollywood stars cutting their teeth to make a name for themselves. For the record, it is both one of my favorite novels and movies as it deals with a period...

Originally published on 26 October 1962 That gentle Califorman giant John Steinbeck has spent a lifetime trying not to get tagged as a Literary Gent. From the time that "Of Mice and Men" made his name in the thirties he has been wary of any publicity that tried to lift him out of the crowd. But now he has been cornered in perhaps the only way he would not want to avoid – by the award...

John Steinbeck's 1952 novel, "East of Eden," is a tale of two families and one city — Salinas, Calif. — with the plot hinging on the sibling rivalry of a pair of brothers. The movie came along in 1955, winning James Dean a posthumous Academy Award nomination in the role of more convoluted brother. But Steinbeck's most convoluted character never made the screen. He was cut from...
