It can be alot to take down, especially if you are not in the right mind set. <br><br>Thanks so much for the nice comment. I am not a huge YA fan (Unless you count Harry Potter which I don't haha) so you can always count on me to leave that out. I think my taste is just a little to warped for YA....think American Psycho/Fear and loathing. Yea Cannery Row is def all about the character building. If you have read Winesburg Ohio it is verrry comparable to that.Padfoot and Prongs - Good Books Inc.http://www.blogger.com/profile/09436410858315526506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7199256706975499037.post-87922429568112984732009-03-14T14:30:00.000-04:002009-03-14T14:30:00.000-04:00Perhaps this is the novel that will finally sway m...Perhaps this is the novel that will finally sway me to Steinbeck? I was famous for loathing him for a time, back in high school. One of my greatest complaints was that his characters are flat and uninteresting, but this could be good. As always, good review! I love that I can count on you to not churn out overly-appreciative reviews of poorly written YA-fiction.<br><br>HalfCrazy, Les Miserables is very good, it's just a bit difficult. It <i>is</i> a brick. Give it a try, and come back to it later if you're not quite up to it. (But it's been years since I read it, so this might be a bit off.)niriniahttp://nirinia.livejournal.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7199256706975499037.post-61167639184634622632009-03-14T14:16:00.000-04:002009-03-14T14:16:00.000-04:00I loved Grapes of Wrath and have been meaning to r...I loved Grapes of Wrath and have been meaning to read Cannery Row. My husband and I went there when we honeymooned in Carmel (Monterey is do close), and I was just enthralled. I am definitely adding this to my list.

I feel like since I'm an English major is time for me to bust out a couple more. I am not sure about Les Mis. That might be one I have to let Padfoot field... but if you want sometime I can always give you a list of some of my top favs since we seem to have similar tastes.Padfoot and Prongs - Good Books Inc.http://www.blogger.com/profile/09436410858315526506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7199256706975499037.post-36597134903290765072009-03-12T08:45:00.000-04:002009-03-12T08:45:00.000-04:00I already loved Cannery Row, but now you have me w...I already loved Cannery Row, but now you have me wanting to read it again.
