I've actually never read Of Mice and Men myself, having narrowly escaped being assigned it in school, but it's one of those books that's so often referenced and parodied that I'm familiar with the story nonetheless.
I believe I was assigned it in school, although it's hard to be sure since I read a bunch of Steinbeck around the same time whether I was assigned it or not; I remember liking it. I thought the film was both good and quite close to the book except in its more sympathetic portrayal of the one woman in the story, which is an adaptation decision I can definitely live with.

I will certainly give it a try!
