I read this about 6 or 7 years ago and absolutely loved it. I read it in 24 hours and that’s counting bathroom and food breaks. I didn’t go to sleep until I finished reading it, I was hooked from the the first page. My spouse thought I was insane for not getting any rest while reading this book, but it wasn’t the first time and it probably will not be the last.
If you are interested another good book is Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy

Choosing a favorite book is like choosing your favorite child, but I have to say, I think East of Eden is damn near perfection. Steinbeck made me fall in love with the written word. I’ve been addicted ever since…

I haven't read this one yet. I've been collecting more and more of the classics that I never read or I read in school and need to reread now. I haven't gotten very far yet but I'm working in it! Enjoy the book club! .-= Wrighty´s last blog ..Mailbox Monday =-.

Oh, Steinbeck why for art thou not my cup of tea? I want to try to like him, but GoW was such a bad experience for me. : ( Glad you loved it though!

Hmm, should I give Steinbeck another chance? Didn’t like The Pearl. Didn’t like Grapes of Wrath…
