| | This was a very entertaining post, if anyone's interested in reading it.
When I was working at Starbucks, we had bestseller books displayed around the store. I saw one of them a few months ago, and it peaked my interest -- The Art of Racing in the Rain. I casually mentioned it to my mom that day when I got home, and then forgot about the book. Until yesterday, that is, when she brought the book home from the library, where we had been on the waitlist for it since that day. So last night at 11, as I was getting ready for bed, I grabbed the book and jumped into bed, and started reading for what I figured would be about ten or twenty minutes before I fell asleep. Four hours and half a box of Kleenex later, I had finished the book.
For anyone who hasn't heard anything about this book, it's from the perspective of a dog. His master is a racecar driver, and as his master and his master's wife go through life, the dog explains things in racing metaphors. I thought I would be bored since I have absolutely no interest in racecar driving, but it's not actually about racing, even if there is a lot of it in the book. I never knew I could hate three fictional characters so much, or fall in love with a fictional dog. I now want to get a dog and name him Enzo.
I definitely recommend this book to anyone who loves dogs. Actually, I take that back. I recommend this book to everyone. So go out there and borrow/buy it if you have the time. Happy reading!
