Charlie Miksicek answers “I haven't read Sweet Thursday or Cannery...”

Sean asked this question about Sweet Thursday (Cannery Row, #2):

I haven't read Sweet Thursday or Cannery Row. Should I read them in order (Cannery Row and then Sweet Thursday) or does it matter?

Charlie Miksicek I'll offer a counter opinion. I think Sweet Thursday stands on it's own. The Nick Nolte - Debra Winger movie "Cannery Row" was mostly "Sweet Thursday"…moreI'll offer a counter opinion. I think Sweet Thursday stands on it's own. The Nick Nolte - Debra Winger movie "Cannery Row" was mostly "Sweet Thursday" anyway. The "purists" who suggest Cannery Row first should also add The Sea of Cortez, and The Logbook from the Sea Cortez to get a full picture of the "Doc". I had the privilege of actually getting to visit his lab in Monterey. Doc and Steinbeck's spirits were everywhere, as were the spirits of other great writers, cartoonists, artists, and musicians who used his lab later as a "Bohemian Salon and Social Club". Doc's lab is now part of the Monterey City Museums system and you can actually get tours https://www.monterey.org/museums/City...(less)
