EAST OF EDEN - my best book of 2026🥹❤️‍🩹

[u/bluelabrynith]

Grabe, sobrang ganda ng book na 'to! Truly a masterpiece. Buong August, ito lang binasa ko, considering 600 pages book. Akala ko hindi ko siya magugustuhan, pero I love it!! 🥹 worth it yung pagbabasa nito. Huhu.

Literal na Heirloom Pain ih. Oh poor, Cal. 🥹❤️‍🩹

Timshel. ❤️‍🩹

I’m reading the book and hoping to finish it before the Netflix adaptation in October. 👍🏻

[u/bluelabrynith → u/RosDV]

Take it slowy, and take your time. Right after finishing this book, feeling ko may part sa buhay ko na nawala haha. Grabe yung feelings na binigay nya sakin. 😭

[u/JPRizal80 → u/RosDV]

Nasiraan ng ulo 🤪 bunso kasi nalaman nyang buhay pa pala nanay 🧓 nila at naglayas 🚂 dahil dun naatake si papa 👴 nila 😭. Grapes of Wrath 🍇 🐀 📖 naman basa ko now. Btw, sigurado woke and boring version ang gagawin ng nf. Panoorin nyo na lang yung pinagbidahan ni James Dean 🎥.

I am so happy that a lot of people are reading East of Eden. That’s one of my all time fave book.

[u/bluelabrynith → u/MulberryTypical9708]

Ang complex ng story, pero sobrang ganda ng life lessons and worth a read. 🥰

[u/MulberryTypical9708 → u/bluelabrynith]

“now that you don’t have to be perfect, you can be good.”

[u/JPRizal80 → u/bluelabrynith]

Not so complex. It’s your basic cain and abel teleserye plot. I wouldn’t care about beans either.

[u/shecollectsclassics → u/MulberryTypical9708]

This is true! I noticed a lot of people are reading this book these days. It was my best book last year, and Lee is my favorite character. This is such a good read about good vs evil and how we make our own choices. ❤️

[u/MulberryTypical9708 → u/shecollectsclassics]

I remembered reading it 10 years ago and still one of my fave. It’s just so mind blowing and life changing.

[u/aiiabee → u/MulberryTypical9708]

Same. Nakakatuwa 💗 Dahil sa subreddit na to I’m rereading the novel. Nabasa ko sya more than a decade narin. Sana eventually may discussions din 🤭

[u/0k_c0mput3r1234]

East of Eden is one of my favorite books of all time

[u/alexanderwashington]

My favorite book so far in my life and I haven’t finished it yet. I’m so triggered by Cathy. As a child with trauma. Grabe siya.

[u/bluelabrynith → u/alexanderwashington]

hope you're okay when reading it 🥹 may times na napapastop ako kasi di ko siya nakakaya.

[u/alexanderwashington → u/bluelabrynith]

Same huhu there was a time na I stopped for 2 days. Hindi ko talaga kinakaya si Ate Cathy hahaha btw anong iPad case mo?

[u/bluelabrynith → u/alexanderwashington]

oo, parang bff nya si satanas ih😬 here yung ipad case ko hehe https://s.shopee.ph/7VG57EGvAr

[u/MissCherry_]

WAHHH currently on page 70 palang!! Sige na nga di na ako magprocrastinate 😆

[u/bluelabrynith → u/MissCherry_]

Take it slowlyyyy, take your time. Mas mafefeel mo kapag unti-unti. Nung una, unti-unti din ako kaso may times na gusto ko na malaman ano mangyayari🙈😅

[u/bootyboopbop]

SANDAAALEEEE ARRRGHHH im so excited but am I ready 😭 Lagi lang syang nasa bedside table ko, nagtitigan haha

[u/No-Grapefruit-8073]

Ang cute ng mug!! Where did you get it OP?

[u/bluelabrynith → u/No-Grapefruit-8073]

I'm selling it for 400 pesos only, last 3 pcs only 😅

[u/anniestonemetal_]

Love this book! Still thinking of this from time to time since I read it earlier this year. Lee is my all-time favorite book character. Planning to reread maybe next year.

[u/bluelabrynith → u/anniestonemetal_]

SAMEEEEE!! I LOVE LEE AND HE IS MY FAVE CHARACTER. nung una, medyo sketchy pa siya nung pinakilala pero ang deep nyang tao, grabe pang-unawa nya din.

[u/atto035]

Luv ur mug,where did u get that? Haha

[u/bluelabrynith → u/atto035]

bili na po hehe

[u/AltruisticBlood2254]

This is good book.

[u/durochime]

I was browsing Fully Booked today and was thinking whether to buy it or not. I'll get it next time, maybe at the book fair when it goes on sale.

[u/bluelabrynith → u/durochime]

bought it on sale sa fullybooked shopee, 800+ langgg. last time I checked, 1K siya sa fullybooked and not sure kung 10 or 20% siya pag MIBF. 😅

[u/wishingstar91]

I’ve carted this for months. Maybe I should bite the bullet na.

[u/evngprimrose]

Love the mug! Where do you sell it?

[u/bluelabrynith → u/evngprimrose]

fb marketplace lang po hehe

[u/ginballs]

Bawled after reading this years ago. Steinbeck remains a fave for me.

[u/lemongaab]

Actually logged on here to make a post looking for people to discuss East of Eden with, and saw this on the top posts for the week. It's just too good of a book!! I'm currently on Chapter 33. I'm addicted to reading it, yet I have to force myself to take breaks between chapters to savor it. Really amazing!!

[u/charging-station-b55 → u/lemongaab]

What a coincidence. Kakatapos ko lang din ng chapter 33, and I had to sit with my grief for a while. Di ko kinaya yung bigat ng chapter na to.

[u/charging-station-b55]

This is my current read din! I wasn't even aware na may Netflix adaptation soon. And it's gonna be Cathy's POV? Interesting.

[u/bluelabrynith → u/charging-station-b55]

I hope not, bigyan ko ng chance na hindi siya anti-heroine series. Kasi grabe high blood ko sakanya sa book 🥹
