I finally finished the book and now I'm treating myself with all of your videos! This part of the book was where it got really interesting for me, too. It was good before, but now I was hooked. Chapter 24 was where I immediately turned once I finished the last page. One of my cousins is reading it now and it's been fun discussing it together along the way. Glad to hear your dad is reading it. I would enjoy being a part of those conversations. The friend who convinced me to read this is planning to have a discussion session soon. This is a book that has to be shared IRL. Thanks for recording your thoughts as you went through it - the experience of not knowing the ending changes the way you think through the characters' developments.
really glad you enjoyed it, and thanks so much for going back and watching! chapter 24 was definitely the part that turned east of eden from “a really good book” to “maybe one of the best books” for me haha. i go back and read it every once in a while when im revisiting some of my favorite chapters on my bookshelf. i hope you end up having a fun discussion with your friend! it’s definitely a book that rewards conversation
Oh man so glad you have been going through this one slowly and savoring it all. I remember reading this in high school and it was one of my favorites. Watching your videos has made me want to pick it back up and give a reread
please do! or maybe go back and revisit some of the sections - it's a long book so a reread is quite the commitment. love getting comments like these, i hope it helped you remember what you enjoyed about the book!
