Your beautiful description and thought-provoking questions have inspired me to read the book. In the past I have had a hard time reading Steinbeck because his stories are so tragic, but East of Eden sounds really interesting.

I remember recommending it to my brother Dave and he LOVED it too. He said that it was one of his all-time favorite books. (That made me feel good because he is such an avid reader and very smart too!) Reading your post makes me want to re-read it. From what I remember, it is a very thought-provoking book and I too remember thinking about it for a long time afterwards.

It has been years since I read it, so I am a little fuzzy on the specifics, but I remember reading it feeling so sucked in and thinking about good and evil. The characters are so engrossing. His characterization is so well done. His evil characters are evil to the fullest. I remember telling our bishop's wife that was my favorite book and her saying, "I started reading it, but it made me blush, so I put it away." There are definitely many parts to blush. Me, I was so naive to somethings that I knew I probably should be blushing, but I didn't know what they heck they were talking about. I will read it again and we will talk.
