Default For all the Trackpedia dog/pet lovers out there...

If you haven't read this yet, you must go buy and read this book:

The Art of Racing In the Rain by Garth Stein

I just finished it last night... took me a while to start it, I had a very hard time getting through the first chapter (hell, I had a hard time getting through the JACKET description the first time I heard about the book!!) since I'm still mourning the loss of our beloved Cocker Spaniel of 15 years (lost him over 2 years ago and it's still tough.)

Anyway... share your thoughts if you have read it, go get it if you haven't !!

I think it is... it really combines our love for performance driving/racing and relates it everyday life and problems... all seen through the eyes of a dog.

Stack, I've had it around since the summer. I guess I'll have to read it now.

Yup, great read. I thought the last chapter was kinda cheesy, but overall I really enjoyed it.
