East of Eden

I am currently reading East of Eden by John Steinbeck this summer, slowly but surely. I am not through with it yet, so this will be an ongoing, open-ended blog until I am finished with the book. I will make this post center around the parts of the book that I deem most valuable with quotes from the text. It is a fascinating tale, rich with character analysis. I have always been drawn to the study of people, their motives, what drives them; this book is suited to just this.

"Some people think it's an insult to the glory of thier sickness to get well. But the time poultice is no respector of glories. Everyone gets well if he waits around."
