Greyhounds make wonderful pets.<br /><br />Frances - I'm only on the second CD of Room, but the young narrator has really drawn me in. We'll see if it continues.<br /><br />Diane - That sounds like a good strategy. I'm going to be reading more and blogging less this summer.<br /><br />Margot - That's exactly the same way I felt! I really want to reread Tender is the Night soon.<br /><br />Darlene - I'm enjoying every moment of good weather!

I cannot function in that heat, either... think I would have been at home reading all weekend, too.
