I don't know how many times East of Eden has been recommended in this subreddit…I finally broke down and decided to read it. I just have to say – Why the heck did I wait so long?! This book is amazing. I can't believe it was written in the early 1950's – the amount of sex, violence, drug use. There is even a small section about a possible transgender youth. It is amazing that this book was written 70 years ago.
Anyway, just wanted to say what a great book…and I am only halfway done, I have no idea what happens, but I hope Kate (Cathy) gets her comeuppance! I hate her! Thanks to all for the recommendation.
