Marley & Me: Life and Love with the World's Worst Dog

John Grogan

William Morrow, 2005

An entertaining tale, but make sure you get the kids' edition for kids

I LOVE THIS COOKBOOK

Cold Comfort Farm (Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition)

Stella Gibbons

Penguin Classics, 2006

Wonderful.
One of the funniest books I've read. I'm ashamed I'd never heard of it until a friend turned me on to the film. It's one of those books I'll pick up again every couple of years, and it still makes me laugh. The weird futuristic theme is a bit of a drawback - it's ...
