Currently reading Nocturnes by Kazuo Ishiguri, collection of short stories
involving music, love and time passing. He is an amazing writer. Just about
to start American Wife, sort of auditioning it for a bookclub option for
fall, and The Shadow of the Wind by Ruiz Zafon, because how could I resist
something that involves The Cemetary of Forgotten Books??
Glad to see Sue's notes--Shanghai Girls and The Help are both on my holds
list at the library. And I am going to try The Art of Racing in the Rain
again, still prepared to cry, but think I can get through it this time.
Everyone I know who has read it recommends it highly.

It's very good. And you will likely cry - but that is the nature of dealing
with the shorter here with us life-spans of our fur-faces. It's a good book
- on the human relations and animal perspective, both - IMHO.
Thanks for the other suggestions.

I don't own it, but it could appear as a present at some point!
