July Drawing Winner

Twenty, thirty years from now, we will look back and remember, foremost, that on this day Hernan J. of Detroit won the July Breadline Books drawing. Somewhere in the neurotic network of folds and grooves in our brains there will always be the memory of simple Hernan taking home not only a paperback East of Eden, but also this grammatically incorrect yet tastefully two-dimensional computer game trophy. Congrats, Hernan, you're legend!




Hernan had no comments on the trophy, but said this about the Steinbeck novel:

"A friend recommended I read some Steinbeck after finding out I was never assigned his books in school.... I've been trying to expand my literary horizons by reading through books that I should have read during school. Usually, all the books that were assigned felt like a chore to read."

Sadly, this does signify that the July breadline is now closed. However, watch for an August reopening very soon!

  1. East of Eden is one of my favorites! Glad to see someone pick it.
