One cool thing about East of Eden is the allusion of good and evil with names! All “A” names were examples of good and “C” names were examples of evil. (Representing Cain and Abel in Genesis of the Bible. Cain slayed his brother Abel and was cursed and outcast from the Garden of Eden. Hence “east” of Eden.) It’s definitely my favorite Steinbeck novel and I just recently reread it. 🥰
@@clairvigil2246 he is in the sense that he has to make an effort to be good, in the same way Cal does, but also maybe his name having Ch instead of the C shows that nuance
I was unhinged too. As a child reading was my everything. Then at 10 I got a phone and kind of stopped. And then at 13, after not reading for 3 years and only having read childrens books, I picked up les misèrables, finished it, and fell in love with reading again. idk there was just some force keeping me going and I somehow got through the brick
Wow, what an intimidating return 💀 For me, I started reading again after my yr 12 final exams but I read books such as little prince, harry potter and contemporary reads before diving into some classics I've been meaning to read. Applause to you 👏👏
I’m over halfway through East of Eden and its on my way to become my favorite book ever. The characters are the best I’ve ever read Update: finished it, definitely my favorite book of all time
Not to be dramatic but Emma and the whole lot of my RUclipsrs (jack included) have saved mine and I’m sure many other lives!! Such comfort, peace and safe place these corners of internet are! ❤️❤️✨
I think you're exaggerating, so basically all the billions of people who lived before RUclipsrs existed would have suicided and felt miserable and depressed ? Lmao pleaseeee, this new generation is way too obsessed with social media, y'all don't even know how to enjoy your life and real experiences anymore, I pity you guys
@@ciri_riannon235 oh my god wow. Imagine not letting someone tell their own stories. People before us existed and coped in their own ways and so do we. Yk what else comes with social media, tonne of unnecessary hatred and peer pressure. Let people live their own lives.
I just wanna say thank you! Because you are the one who got me into reading and i end up having about 30 books and an empty wallet so, thanks jack. ✨ (All jokes aside, Love your celebrity books club reviews!)
You're making fall in love with reading again, thank you for that❣️ I didn't read fiction for ages, sticking with business or mental health related books. But the more I watch your videos, the more I become interested in reading fiction... I downloaded the razor's edge and going to read it now🙈
FINALLY someone talks about East of Eden, it has been my favorite book for ages and it's hardly ever mentioned in Booktube just because it's a classic. Best example of good literature I could think of.
"A book tells 2 stories, 1 is the one that is printed in black and white on the pages, and the other is you reading it. " i loved when you said this !!!!
Have you read the series of unfortunate events? Only Lemony snicket book series I've read but I know all of his books are connected because he's not a real person. It's a fantastic series though.
@@justinebarci1171 All the Wrong Questions is the prologue of that series. It follows young Snicket, when he was still an apprentice. There's only 4 books to All the Wrong Questions but it's sooo good. There are allusions and references to other classic works of literature sprinkled within the books. In fact, the final book is inspired by a famous mystery novel ( I won't spoil it) Go read them (if you want :D) Edit: typo
fun fact for any non-californians/americans reading east of eden: salinas is pronounced like suh-LEE-nis in english so the emphasis is on the second syllable :)
was looking to see if anyone mentioned this haha! I couldn't help but giggle at the way he said it, but I guess it's not a word people outside California are likely to have heard spoken out loud
the way I have that exact quote underlined in my copy of east of eden! I also think it was one of the first books that really got me into understanding and enjoying classics. I'd read a few before picking up east of eden but that book was just the one that made everything click for me and now I bloody love classics
i read east of eden in the middle of my spring semester exam season; i was completely burnt out, not having much remaining brain power for the evenings yet i still managed to finish the book in like a week, it was beautiful and sooo engaging and easy to read for a classic yet masterfully written; it's exactly the perfect example of a book being for entertainment and learning/some very divine cause
I was wondering if you were going to make a video on the short list for the women’s prize? All of the books in the list are so great (especially the book of form and emptiness) and I was hoping you would make a video where you could read these novels and then possibly predict the winner? That’s all! Ilysm!
Good video! Just to let you know Salinas is a Spanish word and is pronounced Sa-LEE-nas. Jane Seymour played Cathy in a miniseries of the book. She had the face of an angel but was evil personified.
I’ve loved East of Eden since 9th grade (if you ever listened to Meg and Dia in tumblrs peak era, they have referenced the novel that set me on a really spectacular reading journey which also led me to reading several iterations of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein). I highly recommend a reading list from famous song writers who have credited their music to specific novels
What a beautiful idea to mark each book with your own favourite lines and pages for future visitors to whip out and see what the book meant to you. You’ve inspired me to do the same! I always feel guilty about dog-earing books but now you’ve empowered me
Pls do Hozier 's book recommendation. He is a lyrical genius and a well read person .I believe his literary taste would be nothing less than immaculate
the east of eden quote you shared was the tipping point that made me for sure add it to my TBR list. its very prevalent to this current stage of my life
I read The Razor's Edge in March and it's not only my favourite book so far this year, but one of my favourites of all time. I'm so happy you loved it too!
maybe you've already shared it but i think it would be cool to see how you annotate books for yourself (i.e. not in an i-have-to-write-an-essay-about-this way). i'm still trying to find a system that works for me and it's always fun to see how other people do it :)
Jack I bloody love your videos but I do be missing the vlogs it was just so calming and fun to watch so if you could bring them back it would be so great keep it up btw👍👍
I only read "Of Mice and Men" and loved it. "Grapes of Wrath" and "East of Eden" are still waiting on my bookshelf. Scared by number of pages, I should be.
I'm so glad you loved east of Eden! It's one of my absolute favorites and Cathy is one of the best characters I've ever read. She's so vivid and terrible and I've never seen a character written like her before.
there is no other book that I am more passionate about than east of Eden, such a work of art!! and I am SO EXCITED to see it be featured on this channel
just bought the razor’s edge- so excited to read it bc of you!! would love vids about reading an author’s full body of work toni morrison, ursula le guin, etc. and a guide on where to start cause i sometimes get intimidated when a writer has more than like 5/6 books and don’t know which one to start with 🤣 but your rec is the only one i trust haha
