Title: East Of Eden by John Steinback Post by: Reverend Joshua Sloane on March 28, 2006, 01:28:04 PM East Of Eden by John Steinback
I'm almost done. Read this. It will change your life in many ways. For a section of the book it's so sorrowful that when happy parts come into light you actually feel the joy in yourself while reading. It's a fantastic book. A lot of soul searching is to be done while reading. It's kept my attention for a week up to now, and once I'm done I'll most likely read it again.

Comic. Brilliant. Is this your first Steinbeck, H&V?

It is like a huge soap opera and the only book I really gasped at when things happened. I am now reading The Wayward Bus by him and that is also a really good book.

I just finished the book today. I've learnt a lot from reading it. Adam Trask, Lee, and Sam Hamilton are now a part of me. Title: Re: East Of Eden by John Steinback Post by: SurferGirl7 on March 30, 2006, 12:46:54 PM Don't you love the wife in that book? LOL! ;D
Title: Re: East Of Eden by John Steinback Post by: Reverend Joshua Sloane on March 30, 2006, 01:48:05 PM Don't you love the wife in that book? LOL! ;D She sounded do-able :D But really, it's interesting to realize that in the end Cathy/Kate was like anybody. Sure she had that "something" missing, but it's merely an example of any cold person as they seem and often act. At first she's described as almost a Devil amongst men. I'd like to find my Abra in this life. :'( Title: Re: East Of Eden by John Steinback Post by: SurferGirl7 on March 30, 2006, 04:34:33 PM Awww there is always E Harmony
Or those pigeons we were speaking of in another convo ;D Title: Re: East Of Eden by John Steinback Post by: Reverend Joshua Sloane on March 30, 2006, 04:43:12 PM I was thinking about all the things that I'll become eligible to participate in when I turn 18 years of age. Maybe i'll go to an adult book store and quit reading these silly old philosophical novels. Time for some words detailing humpin'.
