East of Eden definitely has a place in my top 5. Having been forced to read grapes of wrath in highschool, I didn't touch another Steinbeck for quite a few years. I think being told to read something immediately changes your opinion about the book and author.
East of Eden was a perfect book about humans. Definitely changed the way I think and feel about Steinbeck. Worth every page.
