that it's always been this way...

I finished Part One of East of Eden. At first I thought the book was going to be about a "bunch" of different people, not really connected. But they actually all connect, so that's good. My favorite part is about the character Cathy. Steinbeck discribes her as a mental monster. she does and thinks things differently than everybody else, but to her it's normal because she's always been different. If you've never had something, how can you miss it? Cathy is also a liar. Cathy is also beautiful. Cathy is also kniving. Just kidding. She's coniving, but she set her house on fire and sliced that cheek open. "I can get so little you can't even see me... Nobody can find me." She was reading Alice in Wonderland on the morning of her sixteenth birthday. and it was censored like in F451. I have no idea how to make that sentance work.

"No one who is young is ever going to be old."

twilight...sunrises in the east...nope.

Twilight is finished! great for that one. kind of a waste of life. In my defense, I read the first one like a year and a half ago. fads :) I pretty much booked it (punny...) at the end, I just wanted it to be over. I read it for 6 and a half hours. yep.
So now I'm reading East of Eden by John Steinbeck. (picture haha not quite.) So anyways. about the book. I guess I don't really like writing about my opinions of a book until I'm finished. I'll throw out some generic goods. Really though, it will probably take me forever to read. It's just that the pages are so thin. like, confirmation bible thin. It discourages me, but I'm reading it consistentlyyy so it should be ok. So far, Charles tried to kill Adam his brother. I thought he was going to. But that would've made it too classic Cain and Abel. need more drama. I'm doing a good job of keeping track of my hours and pages. yay.
So:
pages: 63
time: one hour, eleven minutes.
Total: sorry I didn't count them before. but as far as I've counted: 7 hours 41 minutes.
