Haven't booked it in awhile, so thought I'd get back in...
What, in your opinion, is the best book that you haven’t liked? Mind you, I don’t mean your most-hated book–oh, no. I mean the most accomplished, skilled, well-written, impressive book that you just simply didn’t like.
Like, for movies–I can acknowledge that Citizen Kane is a tour de force and is all sorts of wonderful, cinematically speaking, but . . . I just don’t like it. I find it impressive and quite an accomplishment, but it’s not my cup of tea.
So . . . what book (or books) is your Citizen Kane?
Mine would have to be "The Time Traveler's Wife" by Audrey Niffenegger.
The premise? Very cool. The writing? Amazing. The story? VERY interesting.
What killed it for me was ... well, those of you who have read this story and know me and my story preferences will understand why I wasn't particularly happy with this book. It has to do with our hero. That's all I'm saying, cuz it's a major spoiler. Fact is, though, I'd never read this book again -- and I wouldn't recommend it to most of my friends. There are some of you (For instance: Jen, Charity, Anno) who would probably thoroughly enjoy it ... but me? Not so much.
==============================
Speaking of Charity -- go check out what she just got and give her a C, give her an O, give her a N, and a G, and an R... okay, I'll stop.

So... Dakota woke up the other morning (Mon? Tues?) with icky yellow-green eye boogers. Blech. And she was pawing at her eyes... and one had the third eyelid swollen and I wondered -- do dogs get pink eye?
Just so you know, apparently they DO.
So, I have a tube of goop to squeeze in her eyes three times a day until it's gone. When the doggy doc gave it to me, I thought -- great, gonna have to have DD and DH sit on her while I do this. But, you know what? For all her faults, she is a very patient patient. She just sits and lets me do it. Alone. Three times a day. In fact, when she sees the tube come out, she slithers over with the tip of her tail wagging and just plops down. Without me asking.
I guess I will keep her. If only she was leash trained. *sigh*
But, she is cute:

This was hard for me because... I use a fanny pack! LOLOL.... But, yeah, it's pretty right on.
