      After not reading for years I got back into it with a big theory book and I think that's the best way to do it, once you finish you're like "okay but if I've managed to read through this whole entire thing then I can read anything" and it makes you excited to go for more books :)

    My husband has to read a lot for work and therefore doesn’t often enjoy reading in his free time. I recommended East of Eden to him and it’s the first time in a long time that he would rather read than watch something in the evenings. Makes me happy.

    I read this book a couple months ago because one of my favorite songs is basically based on it, but I ended up really loving the book. Basically, everything you said in this video was my exact thoughts and reactions. But the song is called Timshel and it's by Mumford & Sons. It's super slow and beautiful and it's great. Anyways, I love this video (:

    I wrote an academic work about the social construction of love and rivalry between siblings (based on East of Eden) so I know one or two interesting things I just wanna share...
    Wanna note that Cal and Aron aren't the reincarnation of Cain and Abel. It's basically the whole Trask family caught in the vicious cycle of murdering one's own brother. Maybe you've noticed that every character connected to the Trask family has a name that starts either with a 'C' or an 'A' (like... Cain und Abel...). It seems like the 'C'-characters are the 'evil' ones. And as Cal survives at the end and falls in love with Abra (starting with an 'A' again) it's very likely that the vicious cycle will continue.
    Interestingly it seems like (maybe due to the biblical inspiration) the relationship between the Trask siblings is already determined when they are born, like it's fate that they will try to murder each other. BUT there are clearly parts in the book hinting that the rivalry between the siblings is - as it is prooved - a social construct.
    Well I hope my grammar didn't escalate. English is obviously not my mother tongue.

      I feel like average contemporary or lit fiction is around 300 pages usually, so 600 is twice the length. I can see how that could intimidate someone, especially if they're not used to reading classics so there's a bit of a language barrier too.

    East of Eden is one of the few classics that I can actually manage to digest. It’s arguably one of my favourite books of all time. And that’s saying something considering that classics make me want to sleep myself into a coma😌💃🏻

    Hello!! Some clarification on Cain and Abel from someone who grew up in the church: The reason that God didn’t accept Cain’s offering wasn’t because it was “worse” than Abel’s. It was because Abel offered God the firstfruits of what he had, showing that his motivation in giving was love and honor for God; Cain gave the leftovers, which showed that he only offered it out of begrudging obligation and not as a genuine act of worship. The actual offering didn’t matter to God, but rather the motivation in doing so

    I read this in my AP English class in junior year. It's been one of my favorites since. Everyone in my class loved it and we all had this dumb pact to get "timshel" tattooed on our arms that never materialized.
    Lee and Sam are fucking goals. As for more Steinbeck, Cannery Row is great. Grapes of Wrath is fantastic as well but really heavy. His shorter works like Of Mice and Men and the Pearl are great too.

    I love John Steinbeck and east of Eden is one of my favorites. And yeah 600 pages is a lot but I finished it twice in under a month. Currently I’m reading War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy and oh boy, it is a behemoth of a book. Great book so far but huge. The edition I have is twice the size of Eden, at 1215 pages plus 60-70 pages of Appendixes covering notes and historical facts & people. And I lending lending my copy of Eden to my best friend as she loves the movie with James Dean but never read the book so I hope she loves it.

    That's such a weird thing from the anglophone world: the classics are "a genre". What the heck? Classics had genres (not in the contemporary sense of content genre, though, that is truly a commercial and industrial thing). Props on that King James translation quip, that's philology right there.

    John Steinbeck is one of my favourite authors and I'm not generally a fan of old white male authors. You should pick up his short stories. They're amazing. I'm English so have no stake in stories about old California but his prose is just so delicious. My favourite is Cannery Row. He brings the characters of Monterey at a specific place in time so vividly to life.
