If you are a dog lover or just love pets I've finished a wonderful book. It's called "Marley & Me" John Grogan is the author. It's about the life & love of the world's worst dog. Marley is a 97 pound yellow lab. There will be laughter & tears but a great book.

I haven't read that one will have to try and pick it up.

I will recommend "Water for Elephants" by Sara Gruen.  Beautifully written.

the series by Rita Mae Brown & Sneaky Pie Brown are great. It's about 2 cats & a corgi that help solve crimes.
Fun reading

Knabe, I'm slowly plodding through your book. Have 3 chapters read. It's a book that I need to have all the chipmunks in my head working together.

When I picked up the "Marley and Me" book and read the cover, I thought--alright, I'll give it a try.  I am usually your who did it, murder and/or mystery, or out of the ordinary type book person.  I know you probably have to be a dog lover and raised a few in order to get this book but wow, it was really good.  I laughed and laughed.  And when my 6 month old min pin ate a chunk out of our drywall yesterday, I even kept my temper in check thinking of Marley.  When she did it again today, I was so even keeled.  ANYWAY, thank you for the book review, I thoroughly enjoyed it.  And I cried at the end-of course.  What does Knabe have you reading--something I can plod through too?  Book reviews always welcome here.  We are always the odd balls at shows, my three girls love reading too, and after we get set-up out come the books.  So if you see an old chick with three young chicks reading furiously between classes, that will us.  javascript:void(0);

I just got started on All Creatures Great & Small by James Herriot.  I read it years ago but felt like reading it again.  My reading time is limited.. usually when I'm waiting in the car for kids activities.

red, i just bought them for sort of a collector's item.  it doesn't have too much insight, especially when improvement is exhausted.  it does show clearly what was underevaluated at the time.  perhaps now, it's overvalued, or just overclouded, or perhaps overutilized on overutilized feedstuffs.

Marley and me is coming out as a movie here soon.  Supose to be great.  I need to read the book first, alot of times the movie is a let down.  For example the book "the horse whisperer", the book I couldn't set it down, the movie....grrr they changed the ending.  Only books I've read that the movie matched were the first 3 Harry Potter books.
