I really love East of Eden. I haven't been lost in a book in a while. Nothing makes me feel like the emotions of others.
This is how I feel right now:
"He saw the world through gray water. Now and then his mind fought its way upward, and then when the light broke in it brought him only a sickness of the mind, and he retired into the grayness again."
Minus the masculine form, plus the feminine.
Hmmm, no! "It was Weltschmerz- which we used to call "Welshrats"- the world sadness that rises into the soul like a gas and spreads despair so that you probe for the offending event and can find none."
THAT, m'dear, is exactly how I feel right now. :\
