I have decided to go back to the classics I never got around to reading.  A teacher highly recommended Cannery Row by Steinbeck so I went with it.
I don't know if it's because I grew up around fishermen, but I loved this book!      It was like reading about characters I knew and loved from long ago.  Steinbeck really captured a moment of Monterey, California history during the peak of the fishing industry with these quick-witted, entertaining, and endearing characters.  If you have to read a classic try Cannery Row!
                 

Any suggestions for my next classic?
