In a bunch of ways that book marked a fork in the road for me, many years ago. One of the greatest novels ever written, IMO.
And so, I've been inspired to read the copy of "East of Eden" I was gifted a few years.
It features a beautiful cover illustration by William Low. #massmarketpaperbackmaxi
Did you read it, in the end? What did you think, if so?
I was quoting it in the saloon every now and again. "Impossibly beautiful" was how I described it to @Scoresby.
I lost my marbles doing this wallet stuff and haven't read anything new in months, but Grapes of Wrath is on deck.
Enjoy. A time without central banks...
East of Eden gets me every time
I only had that deep understanding of the atmosphere of a distant epoch once when I read ''The Buddenbrooks'' by T. Mann
I read ''East of Eden'' by John Steinbeck again after 20 years and it had the same fascinating atmosphere when I read it the first time. It's a 'must' read, esp. for Americans
