I keep meaning to post the questions from the discussion section at the back of my book. Sorry that I haven't done that. I do remember a couple of them:
Do you think the title, "The Good Earth" is correct and apt, or was it intended to be taken more sarcastically---the earth was treated as the most important and good thing in life by Wang Lung---was it?
Some have said The Good Earth deals with a lot of universal issues, despite being specifically set in China during/after the last empire. Do you agree?
I know a few people set out reading this book, not sure who is done. I really liked this book, but typically find stories set in China to be pretty fascinating anyway, so no surprise there. What did you think? Add any questions you think are interesting to think about, too!
AND ALSO any interest in reading something else "together"?? Any ideas?

Wherever you are, it's okay to read this post.
I finished the book last night and am so glad I did. That sounds bad. What I mean is that I'm really glad to have read this book. I hope everyone is still reading or done reading. The end presents some very interesting and in my opinion, satisfying twists and thoughts. I hope to discuss with you soon!
So as not to give away anything accidentally (andmostlybecauseIdidn'ttakenotesasIread) I have only created pretty blank posts for each chapter. That way people can comment as they read each chapter because I have NO IDEA where other people are now! Hope to hear from someone soon :)
