Elizabeth Marshall Thomas'
The Hidden Life of Dogs and a book of Shakespeare's sonnets..... 26 more to go in ooohhh let's see... 8 weeks. how will this happen???? 3 or 4 books a week!!!! luckily i am in the process of reading like 4 others right now for school and i have a semi-free weekend this weekend.
The Hidden Life of Dogs was cool, but not as interesting as I thought it would be. Marshall Thomas is a crazy woman- she spent thousands of hours following her huskies on walks to see where they went and how they reacted to certain situations like traffic, other dogs, different neighborhoods, etc. But she left so many questions that I would've liked to have known at "I could never figure out the reason for this.." I would like to know the reason for this, that is why i'm reading your book: go find the reason or back it up with other instances of other dogs doing something like this! oh well, it was still a quick and interesting read, plus I enjoy almost anything dog-related, so i enjoyed it overall. also, i read shakespeare's 152 sonnets for my literature class, which, by the way, is kicking my ass. we have to read so many poems a week that they all get filtered through the system as if we haven't read them at all, then we are tested on nit-picky details. thanks a lot, lady. i'm really learning from your class............................... NOT. "This suit is black not." -Borat (a way more entertaining fellow than shakespeare- yup, i said it, I, and english major, said it. borat is more entertaining than shakespeare)
