Well, I don't plan an rereading The Good Earth again, but I think I'll participate in the discussion.

I'm only about 50 pages in and I like it so far, but I am having a problem.
The ook starts with an excerpt from Marcell Proust's Swan's Way(In Search of Lost Time) . I have read ISOLT and I thought it was one of the most beautifully written books ever. The Good Earth seems pretty pedestrian by comparison. I keep telling myself it's an unfair comparison, but it's one I never would have made if not for that excerpt. Anyone else have a similar experiance?
I like poetry,long walks on the beach and poking dead things with a stick.
