The Art of Racing in the Rain

Taken from my post at College Students: One of my best friends recommended this to me when it first came out, and I've seen it on people's “must read” lists for a while now. I was skeptical. I did not expect to like it as much as I did. But I really loved the book; I found Enzo's quips and statements to be concise and poignant without being trite or simplistic.

I read this book in one sitting, and I highly, highly recommend it. I was suspicious of the plot because I thought it sounded silly at first: racing? dogs? I don't like either of those things. I don't even really like cars at all. And I'm definitely a cat lady.
