I'm about 330 pages in. 250 more to go. I'm liking it so far, it's quite good, but I've heard East of Eden destroys this. What do you think about it?

how well do i need to know the bible to get all the allusions?

I know the stories do seem seem to stand up on their own tho

grapes of wrath is pretty badass. but yeah...east of eden is Steinbeck's best imo. definitely has the best ending of the 5-6 or so books I've read by him.

you really need to hear woody Guthrie's "dust bowl ballads" in the background while reading grapes.

although I won't spoil the ending for grapes...the ending was pretty badass and satisfying as well.
