after cathy ames’ introduction, i don’t know how i managed to find the strength to put this book down and sleep. still don’t know if i can actually manage it. i haven’t even slept and i’m already looking forward to picking this book back up in the morning. it’s THAT serious.

by god, the text on this is so dense. but three chapters in, i can see why this is a classic hailed as one of the greatest american novels of all time. can’t wait to eat it up. (also yes i’m reading east of eden in preparation of the new adaptation featuring mike faist)
