I just started East of Eden based off this thread. I read grapes of wrath a while back and enjoyed that so hopefully east of Eden delivers!

It feels trite to say, but Steinbeck is one of my favorites. East of Eden is just epic. Themes of free will, the meaning of life, human nature, the American dream.
