Had a really good run of books recently. I've just finished East of Eden which I loved. For some reason I was expecting Steinbeck to be more difficult for me to get into, but I could not have been more wrong - I found it well paced, engagingly written, and moving in some parts, though not exactly subtle in others. I'm definitely keen to read more of his work.
Now reading A Tale for the Time Being. I'm enjoying the diary parts set in Japan - I really like Naoko's voice. However, I'm less sold on the (author insert?) parts with "Ruth". Those drag and feel kind of whiny to me, so far.
