Re: Holiday reading

No-one knows Bob, least of all you... I tried cycle flying (courtesy of a French car door), which hurt. And surfing, which also hurts. http://i51.tinypic.com/2ypgjsz.jpg Not me in the photo - it just felt like that. Reading was less painful. The Art of Racing in the Rain was a pleasant little book, ...

Re: Holiday reading

Holiday reading

While putting together my holiday reading list, I came across this book which came recommended and seems rather appealing - and unusually relevant for this forum. http://img1.fantasticfiction.co.uk/images/n53/n265341.jpg Enzo knows he is different from other dogs: a philosopher with a nearly human s...
