After reading East of Eden, I vowed to read everything Steinbeck has written. It's a lot, and I'm a slow reader. It may take me the rest of my life, but I'm gonna do it. Travels with Charley is my current read, and if you haven't read that one yet, Ana, I think you'd particularly like it!

the timing of you putting your hand up during the intro at the same time as past you put your hand up in the same way was GORG

No one talks about Wild anymore! ITS SO GOOD! I love the writing. It struck me and took me by my shirt and shook me. It yelled at me “you are redeemable.” I needed that. I will forever love Wild.

You are such a ray of sunshine! 🥰 I've got East of Eden and Wild on my bookshelves and MUST make time for them. I am slowly working my way through Kazuo Ishiguro and am currently reading his debut novel, A Pale View of Hills, which is turning out to be far more mysterious and interesting than I anticipated! One of the things I admire about him as a writer is that every book of his that I've read so far is so different from the next.

“the moments that paralyzed the ideas that you previously had” 😩 yes! finishing a new favorite book and shedding the person you were before you read it. UGH

Ana! Your hair is looking fabulous! Hair routine video please! I’m especially curious how you style your bangs :)

[caseyisbooked]

I just found you here, and from one East of Eden lover to another, I'm happy to be here! East of Eden is also my favorite book of all time and I've read it 5 or 6 times, nothing is quite like it. Great Vid!

Love the rendition of “Under The Hall of The Mountain King” you gave us there 😂🙌🏻 low key that music SLAPS forever

[BulbousBeanBag]

ANGELS! IN! AMERICA! Thank you so much for introducing people who are possibly outside of the theatre world to it. It is The Best Play™️ and also my favorite :) very very very excited to hear what you think when you’re done

[MandaPan]

Thanks for inspiring!

I bought The Shards a few months ago - after this video, I am immediately prioritizing it for July 🎉

Also yessss East of Eden. Just brilliant.

i just found an autographed copy of "wild" on the street the other day. also i still need to finish that copy of "what i talk about when i talk about running" you gifted me. hopefully inspire me to get back to running.

If you haven't already, try James Baldwin. I associate his writing style with Steinbeck. Highly highly recommend!! I loved reading if Beal street could talk and seeing the movie afterwards.

Just recently finished East of Eden for the first time and WOW! It was slow going in the beginning but by the end I couldn’t get enough. I find myself missing the characters and wondering what happened next because after all was said and done it felt like it ended in the middle of the story. Maybe that’s the point

Love how the thumbnail makes it seem like you've got a tower of books on the top of your head hehe

[aletachristopherson]

I read The Shards because of you. I agree w you. Thank you.

[briannamattis]

Literally clicked on this video because of how stunning you are! Plus I like books hehe! Thanks for the list!

East of Eden has also become my all time favourite novel. Cried like a baby in the end.
