Should Be Reading - Miz B - hosts this weekly event. We throw out a couple of sentences from our current read (without spoilers, of course) to entice you to read the book.Today's selection comes from East of Eden by John Steinbeck, page 73:

It's Tuesday, Where Are You? is hosted by an adventure in reading.

East of Eden is a great book!
Tuesdays are teasing and visiting new places
I really like reading John Steinbeck's books. The cover on this one would be worth buying the book,
I haven't read steinbeck for years but his books certainly stay with you for years.

I haven't read this book in years.
I haven't read East of Eden yet, but this teaser reminds me that I need to soon!
