Some information about the book

Cannery Row was a pretty quick read, but there is lots to talk about. Here is a list of discussion questions:

Cannery row still exists today. Doc was based on a real person and so the grocery really existed. Here is a link to a slide show of pictures of the real Cannery Row

Book club canceled.

Since close to everyone can't make it to book club this month, we have postponed Cannery Row till next month and are pushing back the list for a month. Hope to see you all in October!

Book Club this Week

Am I the only one who had bookclub sneak up on them? I have the book, but am suspending the other 2 books I'm reading right now to get this one done before Wednesday!! Anyway, Channing has decided that bookclub isn't a good fit for her right now, so I guess that we'll be moving the discussion to my house (unless someone else wants to volunteer?).

Anyone who has read the book and wants to look up discussion questions, feel free to post them (that is why I added you all as blog authors- no idea why the idea didn't occur to me earlier). Hope to see you Wednesday!
