Well Bookcrastinating is down just now so sorry/not sorry I’ll do my #reading update over here. Just finished the venerable East of Eden by John Steinbeck.
Seeing it on a banned book list reminded me to pick it up and I’m glad I did. 5 stars.
Steinbeck’s prose is almost poetry so I’m going to post a thread of some of my favorites herein. 1/n

"And mixed with these were splashes of California poppies. These too are of a burning color—not orange, not gold, but if pure gold were liquid and could raise a cream, that golden cream might be like the color of the poppies." Page 35 2/n #EastofEden

@kb9ens@mastodon.radio "Just"? I hear it's been down for two weeks.
