... really- maybe 3 days after the original post, i added a comment, but i haven't read many of the other posts: aus's huge-lettered one creeped me out. east of eden is the bomb - it shocked me that it could have such an impact. i feel wierd saying anything at all about the end of the book, but really: the conversation between 'the girl' and 'the guy that thought he was bad' showed how love is supposed to happen - not offering 'medicine', but acknowledging the same faults and loving past them in each other. i loved it. it probably will change my life more than i expected.

peace.
