The Red Pony by John Steinbeck

A quick read, like The Pearl, and a good one too. It's the story of a young boy named Jody Tiflin growing up on a ranch with farmhand and friend Billy Buck. It's broken up into four episodes that highlight various events in Jody's life. Trying not to give too much away, I will settle on saying it's a moving (and melancholy) tale that I recommend for anyone with a couple hours to spare (which is everyone).
