East of Eden by John Steinbeck (opens the original)
Read excerpt
East of Eden:It wasn’t very long until all the land in the barren hills near King City and San Ardo was taken up, and ragged families were scattered through the hills, trying their best to scratch a living from the thin flinty soil. They and the coyotes lived clever, despairing, submarginal lives. They landed with no money, no equipment, no tools, no credit, and particularly with no knowledge of the new country and no technique for using it. I don’t know whether it was a divine stupidity or a gr
One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez (opens the original)
Read excerpt
One Hundred Years of Solitude:Anyone who could have seen her in front of the mirror, in ecstasy over her own regal gestures, would have had reason to think that she was mad. But she was not. She had simply turned the royal regalia into a device for her memory.

So Long, See You Tomorrow by William Maxwell (opens the original)
Read excerpt
From So Long, See You TomorrowWhether they are part of a home or home is a part of them is not a question children are prepared to answer.

The room filled and refilled with our voices as the snow fell from her head, the hardwood around my knees whitening as the past unfolded around us.<a class="image-link ima
For Whom the Bell Tolls by Ernest Hemingway (opens the original)
Read excerpt
From For Whom the Bell TollsThere is nothing else than now. There is neither yesterday, certainly, nor is there any tomorrow. How old must you be before you know that? There is only now, and if now is only two days, then two days is your life and everything in it will be in proportion. This is how you live a life in two days. And if you stop complaining and asking for what you never will get, you will have a good life. A good life is not measured by any biblical span.<a class="image-link image2
