I Started east of eden a couple of days ago and I’m already 130 pages in (really fast for me) I’ve read the grapes of wrath and of mice and men already but this seems like an elevated level of Steinbeck, it’s definitely going to be one of my favourite books if it continues impressing me

Grapes of Wrath
One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest
Moby Dick
The Rainbow - I didn't enjoy this as much as the others, but there is a certain something about the journey it takes you on. Definitely get a feeling of the trasition from rural to industrial Britain.
I read some great books this year

serious question; what keeps you interested in posting with a contiguous identity on a board where there is a very vocal group of people who despise your guts and insult you every chance you get. does it not get to you?

you're suffering anon. if some random user on an internet image board elicits so much vitriol it seems they're an outlet for some unrelated pain/misery that you seem to not have processed. why not be indifferent, or engage with anons you find interesting.
