East of Eden. John
Steinbeck. Parallel to the Biblical story of Cain and Abel. Steinbeck’s
philosophical musings are interesting. Vivid portrait of California farming.
Lolita. Vladimir
Nabokov. Novel. Ah Ha! A dirty book. Right? The basic plot certainly seems so.
Nabokov says it is actually a celebration of the American language and culture.
The Magus. John Fowles.
Novel. For a while, in the early 1970s, this novel became a cult classic. Many
high school and college students were reading it. No one could figure it out.
But they couldn’t stop reading.
On the Road. Jack Kerouac. Novel. A
portrait of America in the 1950s, the view of the ‘50s generation and the
aimless desire for experience.
