The Grapes of Wrath, by John Steinbeck.

Great Depression, climate issues, union movement, role of government, etc. It’s a fantastic book.

A great non-fiction that reads like fiction is Unbroken. The Help is a great historical fiction, but it’s quite lengthy. Of Mice and Men is a nice novella length read as well.

Which history class are you looking to collaborate with? Time period span? U.S.? World??

I have not been on a project for over 3 months. Since I joined, I have been put in training. The training got extended by a month and now it's close to 4 months since I joined and without a project.

What should I do? People say that I'm lucky to get paid without doing any work, but it is stressing me out. I need the experience. The uncertainty is freaking me out, with rumours of layoffs and the certification program and all.

How do I get into a project? How long do I have to wait more?
