Kevin McBride
Name: Kevin McBride
Favorite Book: "Of Mice and Men" by John Steinbeck "When I first told people that I was moving to the United States, a couple of them recommended I read some of the great American classics. I tried a little Hemingway and "The Great Gatsby", but the book I really took to was "Of Mice and Men" by John Steinbeck. I’ll admit, what I first liked about it, the paperback was less than a 100 pages. But what really hit home with me was all the traveling around Lennie and George did and how they were working hard for this dream of getting their own farm. I also was traveling around America when I read it and working hard on my own boxing dreams. The book didn't have a happy ending. Things didn’t work out for Lennie and George. That bothered me at first, but I took it as a warning how easily dreams can be destroyed." |
