(A whole three weeks to see the country, John? Wow!) Haven't read <em>Cannery Row</em>, but maybe won't. Felt too burned by the whole <em>Grapes of Wrath</em> thing.

Although I can see if I'd had to read this one for high school that I would have found it very tolerable (for a book I *had* to read). Maybe in another decade I'll tackle Cannery Row.
