Like a waffle cone chock-a-block full of melty, runny ice cream there are things you just wanna slip-slidingly hold onto to.
For me, it’s books.
Even with all the shit I chose to bite off and chew on this year (business, work, building A Little House of Horrors, tractor trailerin’ school, blog, book? maybe?), I’ve always, always read- magazines, books, letters, e-mails, but especially novels. I loves me some novels.
And the latest slickly inserted diversion to the things that keep Miss Carol safe from me being a total dickwad is A Dog’s Purpose. And what a great diversion it is. Or was. It’s fun. It’s not great, but I’d read it again if I wasn’t, you know. (business, work, building our Little House of Horrors, blah,blah,blah)
W. Bruce Cameron manages to capture the essence of dogginess (I think) in his book about a dog who keeps re-incarnating until it finally fulfills his purpose. (hence the title? I’m guessing? see how I pick up on this shit?)
So.
Honestly?
It’s good enough that it’ll make you cry like a baby, I don’t care who you are, and I can’t WAIT ’til Miss Carol reads it ’cause I’m thinkin’ it’s gonna be fun to raft down the road on a river of her tears.
A Dog’s Purpose is worth the time.

I was lucky enough to read an advance readers copy of this book last April. I read it on the beach in Key West. As my friends were all laughing and talking I was sniffling and crying and laughing sometimes too. I loved this book. I have told everyone who will listen that it’s not great literature but it is definitely worth reading. Glad to hear you felt the same way.
It’d it great and grand?
Great article but it didn’t have evyerhting-I didn’t find the kitchen sink!
