Grapes of Wrath or Uncle Tom's Cabin?

I have to read one for school, and I don't know which one to pick. On one hand, the shorter/easier to read choice would be great, but I'd much rather just read the novel that's better in general. So which is the better read?

Grapes of Wrath

Uncle Tom's Cabin

Grapes of Wrath now, Uncle Tom's Cabin later ... I have never read either, but I love the Grapes movie.

lol, if the book was like that, I'd definately read it!

Grapes of Wrath

You should get the book for yourself and others.

I've never read Uncle Tom's Cabin, but The Grapes of Wrath is one of the best novels I've ever read.

As for the title, it's derived from the 'Battle Hymn of the Republic' by Julia Ward Howe. There's a couple of lines in the song that go something like "My eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord/He is stamping out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored".

I love reading, you know that; however, Uncle Tom's Cabin is the ONLY book I have ever decided not to finish because I did not like it at all. I got about half way through it, and decided it wasn't worth it. I used Cliff's Notes for the rest of it, because I did have to read it for school. I never read Grapes of Wrath, because I don't enjoy Steinbeck's dreary and depressing outlook on . . . pretty much everything. Flip a coin B. Lebbin.
