Just finished East Of Eden

If you read it, how has it shaped your life?

Does it stay with you in your day to day activities?

I haven’t cried this much during a book and I have read a lot of sad books.

I am really attracted to stories about the dark side of humanity but most importantly, the human spirit. Which I think this is THE book for that.

I’m curious how I can move forward after this.

Any other recommendations about the human spirit/soul/nature?

• didn’t like Never Let Me Go (recommended a lot, unfortunately didn’t move me at all)
• have read a Thousand Splendid Suns and Kite Runner
• Flowers for Algernon is my next read
• I Who Have Never Known Men is one of my favorites
