Marley and Me: Life and Love with the World's Worst Dog by John GroganI read this book in just a couple of days. It is short, charmingly-written and humorous to anyone who has every owned a cantankerous dog. I think our recent experiences with Abraham a.k.a. "The Crotch Nibbler" a.k.a. "Abrahamma bin Ladin" made the book even funnier for me. I actually came away feeling fortunate that my dog's not as bad as Marley. Abe only digs holes and needs expensive stitches. He doesn't eat holes through drywall or chew apart our mattresses. Thank goodness!
Evidence that this is an engaging book: some of my junior high students who are reluctant readers are reading this book, and they're loving it.

I've heard such good things about this book from several cousins and friends. A friend actually just lent it to me so it's sitting at my bedside just waiting. It's next in line after a book I began a couple of days ago- The Memory Keeper's Daughter, by Kim Edwards. I've only gotten a few pages in... I just keep getting interrupted!! But I hear it's wonderful.
I loved the Memory Keeper's Daughter even more than Marley and Me. Let me know what you think of it when you're finished!
Some parts of Marley and Me reminded me of your experiences with Cole :)
That's what others have told me. I wonder if it will make me miss him...?
