[Spoilers] East Of Eden really changed my mind about how much I can enjoy longer books and classics

I just finished East Of Eden and just wanted to say it was phenomenal. I usually have trouble finishing 400+ page books. I usually have no trouble getting started but can get bored as I finish it. Something about the character development in East Of Eden with Sam Hamilton and Cathy Ames really just amazed me and drew me in so much that even as I thought it slowed down a bit at the end I could not help and finish to find out what happened. I want to read more longer books now and classics via /r/books https://ift.tt/3ogeVbQ
