Ah, thanks a lot for clarifying! Super interesting how they inspired each other.

Thank you for sharing your recent read! The story really seems fascinating. Will be added on the list!

They sound great, thank you! Am excited to read them!

Thank you, I have not read anything from Brazil yet - seems really interesting.

Sounds really interesting. While reading about the story on Wikipedia, I saw that there is a second part called Seeing. Definetly want to see what everything means.

Started with The Witcher tgis year and absolutely love it. I’ll look at your other suggestions also, thanks a lot!

Thank you for the suggestion. Always wondered whether the games are based on the book. Am really curious about it!

Thank you for all the suggestions and descriptions! Already very curious on getting to experience some dutch writing. Will definetly come back to you with my thoughts on them!

I’ve seen the movie last year, so reading it would be nice also. Thank you!

Thanks for your suggestions! I added both to my list

Thanks! I’ve heard of both authors but somehow never came to picking one of their books up. Both sound very interesting!

Thanks! Enjoy your read as well!

Wow, great response, thank you for sharing your thoughts! I started with Of Mice and Men, Grapes of Wrath, The Pearl and now I’m reading East of Eden. What about you?

I love what you’re saying about the characters, because it really feels te same to me! They are so thoroughly created by him, they always seem to manifest as actual historical people.

Never heard of Cannery row but especially the scene you’re describing seems so great, I just added it straight to my reading list.

He really does stand in line with all those great authors and plays an enormously valuable role in the field of literature and the history of America.

This was also the first book I read from him and it really made an impact. East of Eden is my current read. Are you still at the beginning? It gets smoother to read when he has set up all the scenes and the relationships start to develop I feel.
