The Art of Racing in the Rain
Ladies and Gentleman,
If you want to read an inspiring book, "The Art of Racing in the Rain" is it. Great little gem. Anybody that loves their dog or dogs in general will devour the book Anybody who is passionate about lapping, HPDEs, and racing will also love it. Go ahead read it and tell me what you think. |

I agree, great read! It inspired me so much I got inked on my chest "That which you manifest is before you".

Excellent read, particularly if you own a dog.

Such a good book. I think I'll pull it out again soon and give it another read. Very easy read, and hard to put down.

Already there buddy! We have a copy--I just need time to sit down with it. Foruming, cars, baseball, and work are eating into my reading time. But this thread is motivation to start!

Just finished the book. Wow. What a unique and very amazing read. I enjoyed every single page of it. I immediately took my dog out for a walk after finishing it. Very touching story. Anyone who hasnt read it yet, GO NOW!
Any other good recommendations? We should have a thread for this lol, I think my next book is going to be Game of Thrones....just finished watching Season 1 of it last night and its pretty interesting!

Resurrecting an old thread.
Tony, I sent this book to my 75yr/old mother (Kindle book). She knows nothing about cars and does not really understand why I go to the track. We both read three or more books a week. She called me up and told me that this book was the best book she has ever read. It made her laugh and cry so hard at the end of the book... |
