At times funny, at times inspiring, at times meandering... I give it a 3.5. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/75030527 to: I'll Take You There (Hardcover) by Joyce Carol Oates
bookshelves: my-bookshelf
This book epitomizes why I love Oates: the dark, intelligent, obsessive main character; the beautiful prose; the unraveling of the story to a satisfying, revelatory ending. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/75367923 Half Broke Horses: A True-Life Novel (Hardcover) by Jeannette Walls

bookshelves: animals-behavior, my-bookshelf
This little book (it's a very quick read) examines the career of Alex, a parrot in a behavioral research study for 31 years. This is not a scientifically-dense book, but rather it's an endearing collection of anecdotes. Alex and Dr. Pepperberg's research accomplished outstanding feats - birds can add! Alex invented his own words - and amazed the scientific community. I adore books about animal behavior, but I would recommend this book for anyone looking for a charming and downright amazing animal story. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/74340103 The Art of Racing in the Rain (Hardcover) by Garth Stein
