It's been weeks since I began reading East of Eden by John Steinbeck and I've been seriously slacking on reading this book.

I've decided to sit down and knock out 150 pages today. Wish me luck!

It took me damn near 6 months to read that tomb. One of the first large books I tackled. It's worth it. Don't forget to watch the Kazan film after!

Wow, that is a long time! I'm hoping I get through it a bit faster. I have more I want to read. :)

I'll look into the movie too. Thanks!
