Hi everyone!
I haven't been on this site in so long, but I have found time to pick up a book and just fell in love with it and couldn't wait to share it will all the labby friends on this board. The book is called The Art of Racing in the Rain. If you are a dog lover, like we all are I promise you will all love the book. It is a easy read and I couldn't put it down. I couldn't wait to finish so I could let you all how good it is. The author is Garth Stein and he even has a website for the book, but I haven't looked at it yet, Just wanted to share with you all, I hope you guys like it too. The website is www.goenzo.com

Let me know if any of you have read it!

I read it a few weeks ago..only took me 3 days. My gf tells me they are going to make a movie of it

She hopes McDreamy playes the main role

Cheyenne of MA · 11-21-2009, 05:47 AM

Same for me too, 3 days! A movie would be great, especially if McDreamy plays the part, yummy!

THAT'S the title! I picked it up in Chapters last winter, and literally read it right then and there! really enjoyed it, and couldn't put it down!
And then of course go back a month or so later and couldn't find it again....
