I too love East of Eden and Steinbeck. I read a huge biography of him (http://keepthewisdom.blogspot.com/2013/11/john-steinbeck-writer.html) and remember that he went through a lot of angst while writing the book. He considered it his biggest most important novel.

I've read Grapes of Wrath, The Pearl, and Mice and Men but not East of Eden. I really need to read it.
