George was a sinless boy and grew to be a sinless man. No crime of commission was ever attributed to him, and his crimes of omission were only misdemeanors. In his middle life, at about the time such things were known about, it was discovered that he had pernicious anemia. It is possible that his virtue lived on a lack of energy.—John Steinbeck, East of Eden (1952)

How far along are you? Kyle mentioned possibly reading this as a group. Perhaps resurrect the JLQ?
ReplyDeleteP.S. Only the second passage labeled "energy" ... what a shame!
Hi Matt. I am half way. It's a big book. Both you and Kyle read much quicker than me, so you should start it. The only reason I am moving as fast as I am is because I have been really enjoying it!
