I just read the first 5 chapters. Holy moly have I been missing out! I remember trying to read Grapes of Wrath in 9th grade and thinking it was the most boring thing I had ever encountered. I ended up, as an adult, living in Monterey Bay and still avoiding Steinbeck after that. Now that I have started East of Eden, I realize I was just too young. John has incredible writing chops! I’m loving this book already!
