    Right now I'm reading the most amazing book! It's called 'ANIMALS IN TRANSLATION' and it's co-written by an autistic woman named Temple Grandin and is about her life with animals. It's incredible. She has also written a book called 'THINKING IN PICTURES' which I'd like to read as well.
    To give you an idea about the book's content, the back reads:
    People with autism can often think the way animals think, which puts them in the perfect position to translate "animal talk." In this groundbreaking book, Temple Grandin draws on her own experiences with autism as well as her distinguished career as an animal scientist to deliver an extraordinary message about how animals think, act, and feel. Funny, informative, and full of incredible insight, Animals in Translation will forever change the way we look at our fellow creatures.

    I think I'm going to get off line and go and read! LOL

    I don't read much, but the last book I did was Marley and Me and I bawled like a BABY!!!

    I loved the book and I'm still trying to decide if I'll go see the movie when it comes out. I don't want to bawl my eyes out at a movie theater! Maybe I'll just wait till it comes out on DVD.

    I never could read dog or horse stories when I was a kid because the dog or the horse always died!!!! I'm about the same way as an adult.....I only read a little bit of Marley and Me, and I bawled liked my best friend died!

    I've never read Marley and Me because I thought I wouldn't like it, but I guess I'll have to see now. I did read a book that was raved about about a woman who raised guide dog puppies, and I hated it.

    Marley and Me is worth the read, a brilliant book, in my opinion. Very moving.

    I just took John Steinbeck's Travels With Charley from the library because when I was walking Bodea a person we met recommended it because "Charley" is a standard poodle too.

    I'm looking forward to the read
