Tonight I finished East of Eden, only about, oh, a year after I'd intended to. Er. Anyway, I take back all the bad thing I said about John Steinbeck in high school when I was suffering through The Grapes of Wrath, because this was awesome. Also, OMG pretty. Want to go to California now, please, especially if it really looks like it's described here. And as for the book itself...BSG fans, you know the whole "all of this has happened before; all of this will happen again" thing the characters keep saying? This book is all about that, as it traces different permutations of the same story through time, coming a bit closer to understanding and clarity each time, even knowing that full understanding is a fruitless quest. It's good, really.
