I highly recommend The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein.
 I think everyone here would enjoy it.
 Don't be deceived..it's not about auto racing.  It's about life.  (just like Shoeless Joe wasn't really about baseball)

Thanks for the recomendation Lil Me.  I'm always looking for good books.  I'll place a reserve on library's website for the Painted House and this one.

I just started reading this book and am enjoying it so far.  The story is making me chuckle and want a dog even more!  I wonder why it's a 2-week loaner instead of the usual 4-weeks....

Not read anything by him before - one of those authors who I just kept putting off.

 Hated Denisovitch and gave up after 40 pages, now reading The Prime Of Miss Jean Brodie by Muriel Spark.

Finished reading the Art of Racing in the Rain... sad sad book...cried a few times.

  Now, I'm just waiting for the Marley and Me book at the library.  Got it on hold.
