It's odd that no use was used of (IMHO) the book's best-known line: Lenny begs his friend several times, "Tell about the rabbits, George." George keeps his dim-witted friend Lenny's hopes up by telling him how, when they strike it rich, they will buy a farm & Lenny will be able to raise rabbits. The last time George tells Lenny about the rabbits is undeniably ironic. -- Llywrch 09:20, 26 October 2006 (PDT)

I think it should be noted at the top of this page, that it will spoil it for anyone who wants to read the book. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Cockroach (talk • contribs), 22:11, 18 January 2007 (UTC).

That last line about "what you think's eating them guys?" - is it general accepted that that signifies the importance of compassion? I got the impression it was more the fact of their broken dreams, that no-one remembers their florid hopes and ambitions in the long-run. Was that just me? --Nickb123 (Talk) 13:15, 15 May 2007 (PDT)
