I've always seen this big hardback book of 3 or 4 John Steinbeck books. East of Eden being one of the books in it. I should look at it.

I read A Clockwork Orange and Catch-22.. I didn't really enjoy A Clockwork Orange as much as I thought I would have. Catch-22 was OK in my opinion

I feel the same way about Clockwork, it didn't live up to the hype. The movie on the other hand is pretty fantastic. Now Catch-22, that book is amazing.
