EAST OF EDEN

In high school English class, one of our summer reading books was The Grapes of Wrath. I never read it (but I did take a test on it - and passed!). The class discussions were so boring that I wrote off John Steinbeck for good.

The other day, a good friend gave me East of Eden.
By John Steinbeck.

It's his favorite book - and it's an epic one - and since he's one of my favorite people, I thought I'd give John another try.

It's been a long time since I've been able to curl up with a really good novel. And considering this one's as thick as Harry Potter 7 (with smaller print), I'll be curling up with it for quite a while.
