On Thursday, July 12th we met at MacKenzie River to discuss
the above book. It will be difficult to find a book as good as
this one. The people who attended were Julie, Donna, Madeleine,
Diana, Nettie, Kathy, Sarah, Carol and Betsy.
Meet Enzo the labrador-shepherd-poodle and maybe Terrior
dog who relates his master's life and travails. Enzo is a
philosopher who cannot share his thoughts due to his floppy
tongue.which cannot form words. Therefore he listens well
and and knows what is really happening. His other regret is that
he has no thumbs with which to do things for himself.
Enzo believes he will evolve into a human being so is
training for the time when he will be a human.
The art of racing in the rain is really the art of living your
life. We are masters of our destiny as we are the
ones who control the outcome of where our car goes.
"The car goes where the eyes go".
Much of his education comes from his master and Television.
This is a heartwarming, uplifting. funny story of love, loyalty, family
and hope.
It is better to be in the race and to finish the race rather than
finish first in the race. The absudities of humanity is so
clear from the eyes of a dog.
Sarah chose a book called "Maine" by J. Courtney Sullivan.
It is a summer read about women at a cottage. We have all been
there. I am sure it will be fun. Maybe they drink wine and
play euchre and bond with each other.
August 22, (Wednesday) was chosen as the next date
to meet. Happy Summer Reading!
