Casy has always been my favorite character in The Grapes of Wrath (both the book and film).
I'm going to have to re-read the book. I haven't since college, I think; I remember the language and certain scenes, but Casy never impressed himself on me as strongly as when played by John Carradine. (Then again, neither did anyone else. I seem to have absorbed the economics of the novel more readily than the plot.) There must be a copy in the house somewhere. Cannery Row (1945) and Sweet Thursday (1954) aren't even in boxes.
I didn't sleep well last night either--an earthquake woke me at 4 a.m.!
