Currently reading: Poor People, William T. Vollman
Just finished: Merle's Door--Lessons from a Freethinking Dog, Ted Kerasote
The first part of the title puts me in mind of a Merle Norman spa (if such a thing exists) and trips my irony meter, since author Ted Kerasote is clearly an outdoorsman and his dog was rough, tough and brainy. Irony aside, Kerasote pulls off the unlikely feat of rendering Dog to English and making the reader believe it. Four legs, two legs: we're not so different after all.
