It is not often for someone to come across great reads that actually changes the person’s life. Reading Dostoyevsky’s “The Idiot” and John Steinbeck's "East of Eden" had a profound influence on me. There was so much to learn from those stories since they were so complete in treating humanity. In fact, these are deep, insightful and inspirational books that one can not easily throw aside after one has finished. These major classics are books to ponder about, books for us to think and reflect over and over. If you haven’t read this great piece of American literature, then I suggest that you do so.
I also recommend: Anna Karenina and Disciples of Fortune―these are two other classic works.
