So here are the books on the my current reading list (Some nerdy books some not)
This is my number one nerdy book that I plan to have a browse over the summer. I really love the Mediterranean so I can't wait to get my hands on that one and have a read.
I'm always one of those people who wants to read the book before seeing the film. Admittedly this has been on my radar for awhile, I just haven't quite gotten round to reading it just yet.
I LOVE the sex and the city series and films and I have already read the first book and totally loved it so this is next on my list of things to ready
I'm only going to recommend you all read one book.
You will laugh cry and cry some more.
A heart-warming and inspirational tale in which Enzo, a loyal family dog, tells the story of his human family, how they nearly fell apart, and what he did to bring them back together.
Enzo knows he is different from other dogs: he thinks and feels in nearly human ways. He has educated himself by watching extensive television, and by listening very closely to the words of his master, Denny Swift, an up-and-coming race car driver. Through Denny, Enzo realizes that racing is a metaphor: that by applying the techniques a driver would apply on the race track, one can successfully navigate the ordeals and travails one encounters in life.
Enzo relates the story of his human family, sharing their tragedies and triumphs. In the end, despite what he sees as his own limitations as a dog, Enzo comes through heroically to preserve the Swift family.
The Art of Racing in the Rain is a testament to a man's life, given by his dog. But it is also a testament to the dog, himself. Though Enzo cannot speak, he understands everything that happens around him as he bears witness to his master's problems. His enforced muteness only refines his listening ability, and allows him to understand many of life's nuances that are lost on most humans. With humour, sharp observation, and a courageous heart, Enzo guides the reader to the bittersweet yet ultimately satisfying conclusion: there are no limitations to what we can achieve, if we truly know where we want to be.
If you actually read all of that then well done. Seriously though this book is amazing, I picked it up while I was in America to read on the flight back, I remember finishing it in my form time and I just sat there crying. My form tutor was slightly worried to say the least. It is one of those books the really made me look at the world in a different way. It's not just a book about a dog it's a book about life, dog lover or not this book kicks ass!
