John Steinbeck's Cannery Row has dropped to £0.99 today at Kindle UK as part of the Daily Deal. I grew up in the Monterey/Carmel/Pacific Grove area, so I like this book even a little bit more than I would anyway - it's fun to really know the area while reading it. (Although East of Eden still is my Steinbeck favorite.)

Quote:
In the din and stink that is Cannery Row a colourful blend of misfits - gamblers, whores, drunks, bums and artists - survive side by side in a jumble of adventure and mischief. Lee Chong, the astute owner of the well-stocked grocery store, is also the proprietor of the Palace Flophouse that Mack and his troupe of good-natured 'boys' call home. Dora runs the Bear Flag Restaurant with clockwork efficiency and a generous heart, and Doc, secreted away in his home at Western Biological Laboratories, is the fount of all wisdom. Packed with invention and ramshackle joie de vivre, Cannery Row is Steinbeck's high-spirited tribute to his native California.
