East of Eden

No, I can’t write a review about East of Eden. It ended up being too epic, to compelling, too amazing for me to be able to find any words to describe it. I think I’ll just leave here what I found on, for example, page 4: “You can boast about anything if it’s all you have. Maybe the less you have, the more you are required to boast�; Or this one on page 33: “The direction of a big act will warp history, but probably all acts do the same in their degree, down to a stone stepped over in the path or a breath caught at sight of a pretty girl or a fingernail nicked in the garden soil.�; Or this one (I really liked this one) found on page 90: “No one who is young is ever going to be old.�. And how about this one one on page 260: “When a man says he does not want to speak of something he usually means he can think of nothing else�. Just one more, this one on page 530: “But isn’t silly, this preoccupation with small time units. One thing late or early can disrupt everything around it, and the disturbance runs outward in bands like the waves from a dropped stone in a quiet pool.�

Your review and quotes from the book, Pedro, have urged me on.
One day!
Cheers from CB

This is a very good book - I just think “Cathy Ames� would’ve been a better title, though. Let me know what you think about this, yeah? 😆

I'll let you know my thoughts for sure, Pedro. I might not get to reading this one for a while, but stay tuned.
Cheers from Down Under.
