Query: Life Itself

The Good Earth is not a travelog that will transport you to the beauty & wonders of other lands. It is a travelog of life itself, its bittersweet joys, & hardships. It is a classic for this & many other reasons. Those who didn't like the it & stopped reading after 25 pgs. were right to do so. They wouldn't have liked the rest. Those who say they didn't learn anything from the book were also right. You can't learn anything from this book because it talks about life lessons. And the only way for each of us to learn those is by making our own mistakes and being taught by the hardest teacher of all, life itself.When someone is able to appreciate the beauty of life as a journey, with it's good & bad along the way, I recommend this book to them, especially the Enriched Classic edition by Pocket Books. It has great introduction & notes that enhance the reading of the book. It may also be available at your library.
