It is Good.

The Good Earth. I started it only a few days ago but am already about half way thru and I am really really enjoying it. This may sound weird, but even though it is a story of such struggle and hardship, I feel very soothed as I read it. I think it is because the language is so simple and elegant. I also really like that it is so Grapes of Wrathesque. A really good story about the people and the earth they depend on to survive.
