dabbe @Bookwormjillk @BarkingMadRead I couldn't do it. Too heartbreaking. 4h

eeclayton I loved that Ruthie wasn't scolded too harshly. In stressful situations, adults sometimes forget that kids are just kids, and it's nice that the mother here didn't. 3h

East of Eden | J. Steinbeck

pick

After a lot of tough books, I was encouraged to read this, and spend time in Salinas Valley, and fall in love with Sam Hamilton and Lee. I think I was supposed to worry about the two Cain and Abel stories, and sociopath Cathy Ames, but I was more interested in other things. Soul refreshing book with broad appeal. Fun and serious and so readable. Recommended

Tamra A favorite! I prefer it to Grapes of Wrath. Lee is fantastic. (edited) 2d

Graywacke @Tamra i haven‘t read The Grapes of Wrath 🙈 2d

Tamra @Graywacke I was going to say, “All in good time”, but on second thought we‘ll never have time to read everything. 😏 2d

Graywacke @Tamra i‘m on both those mental tracks simultaneously 2d

SamAnne I‘m currently reading. I‘m a fan of Steinbeck but weirdly never read this one! I suspect it will be one of my faves. 12h

Graywacke @SamAnne ❤️ Where are you at? This is my 3rd Steinbeck, but my first of his classics. The others were more obscure (To a God Unknown, which I loved, and his 1st novel, which i hated 😁) 11h

SamAnne About a 100 pages in. I put it aside to do the #hashtagbrigade chapter a day read of Grapes of Wrath. A reread for me. One of my favorites of his is The Log of the Sea of Cortez, documenting his trip down the coast to Baja and around to the Sea of Cortez with his friend Ed Rickets in the early 40s. A great short memoir, esp, if have been to Baja, one of my favorite places. 10h

Graywacke @SamAnne im trying to guess. Is Adam still in Connecticut? And, i have not been to Baja. The book still sounds amazing. 9h

Crinoline_Laphroaig I finished yesterday. Didn't want to be reading something so sad over Thanksgiving. But I'm still following along with posts. Also can't wait to hear everyone thoughts on Ending. 4d

TheAromaofBooks Ooof, this was tough to read. I also read half of tomorrow's chapter today - it's around 50 pages long...!!!! 3d

ElizaMarie Ugh! This chapter was rough! 3d

KAO So painful and tragic! 3d

Bklover I‘m with you, Kathy! Phew! @KAO 5d

ElizaMarie Its so sad they were willing to sell out their kind of people for $. Totally makes sense that people act in desperation when they are hungry. It's so heart breaking though. But I'm glad the dance went odd without a hitch. 3d

eeclayton I'm completely caught up now. Having read about 6 chapters over the weekend, I agree with those who say that it's healthier to read only one chapter a day, even though the writing is beautiful. 5d

Crinoline_Laphroaig @eeclayton it's so depressing. 5d
