I'm finishing up East of Eden right now, and I love it. The only other work I've read by Steinbeck is Of Mice and Men, and I like that one too, so I think I'm going to pick up another of his books in the near future. Haven't decided which one yet.
Any Ken Follett fans here? I heard a year or so ago that he is working on a sequel to Pillars Of the Earth...anyone else heard anything about this? If it's true, then I'm buying it the day it comes out.
And, of course, I'm eagerly awaiting the final Harry Potter release.
Kurty...I have to disagree with you on Catcher In the Rye. It's one of my all time favorites
