OK...so I have to admit that I'm reading East of Eden as part of Oprah's Book Club. I'm only about halfway through it (it was a great read for my 8-hours-in-a-car trip) and I'm particularly interested in what people think of the Cathy/Kate character. I've heard that maybe she is Steinbeck's incarnation of Satan...but I'm just not so sure yet. I think I'll have to go join an online book club so I can talk out my thoughts.
