Cannery Row by John Steinbeck Amsterdam by Ian McEwan Two great novels, IMO! I got "Breaking Dawn" last night, had been on the waiting list for a while...

Good to know! I'm hoping Cannery Row will be less Of Mice and Men and more East of Eden. That's the Steinbeck I love.

I haven't read "East of Eden" so I can't compare, but what I love about "Cannery Row" is that it's the first Steinbeck novel that doesn't end with me sobbing incontrolably for hours after I'm done reading it!
