I have a brand new 2nd favorite book. This is a serious honor. My previous 2nd favorite book, sand and foam by kahlil gibran, inspired me to start writing poetry. I thought nothing could replace it. Until now.
I am going to give you a particular piece that blew me away and left me completely and totally in love.
"Dear God. Not only am I unemployed and homeless, but I also have a pregnant woman, bereaved dog, elephant, and eleven horses to take care of."
This book, Water For Elephants, by Sara Gruen, is extraordinary.
Another book that I have read recently, A Three Dog Life by Abigail Thomas, is also quite exceptional. Sad, but poetically and emotionally outstanding. Thank you Robin. Abigail Thomas isn't stuck on the memoir shelf with the other truths. She has made it to a higher place, if there is such a thing, and that is the shelf that I visit everyday. The shelf that holds dave eggers, stephen dunn, kenneth patchen and shel silverstein.

I'm glad you liked it, Hannah. I'm not sure I could read 'Like Water....', but I might try.
I am so glad you read Like Water, it is excellent. The ending is wonderful. She only had two ways to go with it and she selected the correct one in my book.

"Dear God. Not only am I unemployed and homeless, but I also have a pregnant woman, bereaved dog, elephant, and eleven horses to take care of."...If I could play an instrument and sing this would be a fine hook for a country song.
