February Reads 💙 Today we’re marking John Steinbec February Reads 💙 Today we’re marking John Steinbeck’s birthday with Cannery Row, a novel that came about in 1945, after some war-weary soldiers asked John Steinbeck to write something funny that didn’t have anything to do with war. Meet the gamblers, whores, drunks, bums and artists in Steinbeck’s tale of a Californian fishing and cannery town. A little book to make you happy.
