East of Eden by John Steinbeck. The writing comforted me, and the plot and the characters were all very interesting. The way they acted, their reasonings and upbringings, morals, desires, personalities… I’ve never been so intrigued by ALL the characters in a book before this book.

I really like the quote, “We should remember our dying and try so to live that our death brings no pleasure to the world.” It really motivates me.
