John Steinbeck's east of Eden is a story about what it means to be an American, but it's about much more than that. It's about the eternal battle between good and evil within the human soul, the question of fate and free will, the difficulty of sloughing off the bad decisions of the past in favor of better decisions today. It's about guilt and forgiveness, faith and redemption. We're going to dive into all of that in just a moment. First, let's take a look at some of your thoughts about this book from the amazing book club community we've built over here. So Debbie says, hey Ben, thank you so much for hosting this book club. I've been enjoying it since its inception. I use it for my homeschool daughter's literature class. Thank you you for all you do and the folks at Daily Wire. So really appreciate that. We're hoping that a lot of parents start using materials like this one to educate their kids. Because frankly, I think it's a better angle on a lot of what your kids are going to be reading than whatever their teachers are telling them in public school. Lisa says, hey Ben, love the book club. I listen to the audiobooks normally. Do you think I lose a lot by not reading them? |
| 2:02.2 | No, actually, I think audiobooks are quite wonderful. Typically, I only listen to fiction books. When I listen to nonfiction, I really like to take notes and make sure that I'm noting the facts that I want to bring up for further use, but audio books for fiction, |
| 2:17.6 | I think can be terrific. Whitney says, hey, Ben, would it be possible to create a database for DW book members to connect locally? I think it would be fun to have in-person conversations with others as we read these books together. I think that's a wonderful idea, and obviously we'd love to use this as a sort of community building tool. All right, so let's jump into East of Eden. And this is one of my favorite books. |
| 2:34.6 | It actually is my wife's favorite book. |
| 2:36.4 | It's a beautiful book. |
