Iowa - thanks alot bro, great suggestions and yes, I realize Kerouac on that list appears somehwhat a misnomer but for whatever reason I lump him in, I love the guy and for whatever reason really liken his writting style in many of his works to that of Steinbeck whom I adore. To the matter at hand - its funny you mention Dresier, I have been looking far and wide in this city, Edmonton and online for a first edition copy of "An American Tradegy" but am having one hell of a time. I do appreciate his work though - despite the fact it is not quite gramatically pefect...ha! I am not very familiar with Hammett (though I have heard the name) not West but will definatley get back to youafter I have read some of their stuff.
And Trout - heck yeah I'd be in for that draft!
