Makes me think about the timelessness of classic literature. Writing should make you think. And there may be a perfect middle, somewhere between the cleverness of McLuhan and the boring clarity of self-proclaimed Twitter gurus. To me, Steinbeck exemplifies that. His language is so simple. Reading at the surface level is fine and the story unfolds before you. But there is so much meaning underneath for the reader willing to dig deeper.
