I read /Cannery Row/ once a year, and have for over ten years. I am a Steinbeck fan, and this is my favorite of his, but I'm not sure if I keep doing it because it's really the best or if I just enjoy judging my own changes in outlook against a standard unit of literature. I suspect it's the latter but it's a short book and I recommend anyone read it at least once.
- sriacha 2y agoIts one of the most beautiful books for me...I'm afraid to reread it and lose that feeling.
- ElevenLathe 2y agoI get it every year, possibly even stronger. The opening line still gives me chills every read-through: > Cannery Row in Monterey in California is a poem, a stink, a grating noise, a quality of light, a tone, a habit, a nostalgia, a dream.
