TheAromaofBooks When I read this several years ago, I remember enjoying the not-story chapters even more than the story chapters. I think Steinbeck's writing is so beautiful. 1w
dabbe Oh, this novel. My heart weeps not just at the story of the Joads but at Steinbeck's sublime writing. 🩶🖤🩶 1w
BookNAround I love that so many people like this book so much. It 100% is not for me (I loathe it). In fact, no Steinbeck book I‘ve ever read has been for me (I do still have high hopes for Travels with Charley though). 😂 1w
BarkingMadRead @BookNAround this is my second attempt. Now I have to finish it 🤣 1w

Bklover I love East of Eden so much that I am worried this one will be disappointing. 🤨 1w
willaful This opening reminded me of the terrible fires of 2020, and a day when the sky was so red it felt apocalyptic. :-( 1w

ElizaMarie I am behind - I ended up getting the Audio, because I went everywhere BUT a bookstore this weekend. Anyway, listening to Chapter 1 - I can tell I am going to enjoy this so far. It feels ominous (Also kinda going in blind, never tried to read it, never saw any of the screen adaptation - not sure how many there are). Excited to be in this group! 1w
