The Art of Racing in the Rain
“Unlike the infamous Marley (of Marley and Me: Life and Love with the World’s Worst Dog), Enzo is an exceptionally good dog. He lives with his owner, Denny, a race-car driver, Denny’s wife Eve, and their daughter, Zoe, and shares in all the joys and sorrows the family undergoes. The book, told from Enzo’s point of view, is thought-provoking, poignant and very uplifting – but it is also extremely funny in places. All in all, an excellent read!”

Neither Here nor There: Travels in Europe
“As much memoir as travelogue, Bryson turns the frustrations and peculiarities of foreign travel into amusing vignettes. Bryson can be both crude and laugh-out-loud funny. The audio version by Bill Bryson is very good.”

Women’s Diaries of the Westward Journey
“Every time I am stuck at an airport, grinding my teeth over yet another delay, or fuming with annoyance in a traffic jam, I try to remember the stories recounted in this wonderful book. They were gathered from the diaries of women who traveled west by wagon train from about 1840 to 1870, and they make any travel problems I might encounter seem petty indeed. Fascinating history from primary sources, from the viewpoint (for a change) of the women.”

They find a killer who seems to be the ultimate movie fan of Hitchcock’s Vertigo and untangle a financial scheme which may be the true motive in this intriguing plot.”
