The Art of Racing in the Rain (Book)

eleven11 · 12-26-2013, 08:24 PM

I just finished reading Garth Stein's The Art of Racing in the Rain. Like many here, I'm a lover of cars and dogs, and I highly recommend it. It's a very light and easy read. One of the primary characters is a professional driver, and has a BMW as his daily driver.

"light"?
IMO pretty heavy.

I actually have that book, but have not started reading it yet. I heard it was really enjoyable.

Yep, great book. Even better if you happen to be a dog owning track rat.
