I read to be entertained and to relax, and to go into another world, not because it's good for me.&quot; She paused, nostrils flared, and said, &quot;I don't eat broccoli, either.&quot;<br/><br/>- Nora Roberts, in the Jun 22, 2009 edition of the New Yorker<br/><br/>(I do eat broccoli, though.)]]></about>

          <body><![CDATA[You know, I'm usually a crier, but this one didn't make me do more than tear up every now and then. Not sure if it's because I had been forewarned (other GoodReads comments said things like &quot;Keep Kleenex handy!&quot; and &quot;I bawled my eyes out!&quot;) or what. Maybe it's also because the author didn't make the emotional parts particularly dramatic -- and I mean that in a good way. He wasn't trying to milk anything. He just presented the story from a dog's POV (which again may have contributed to a more straightforward telling).<br/><br/>That said, definitely hold off for a little while. I'm not sure I could handle it if I were in the same situation as you right now.]]></body>
