Bestselling Book Club Favorite Garth Stein's Art of Racing in the Rain is On Sale in Paperback Today!

I know that a great many of you are already fans of The Art of Racing in the Rain and that some of you even got to meet author Garth Stein in the past year as he has criscrossed the country promoting his amazing novel. Well today the novel is finally available in paperback and Garth will once again set out on an extensive tour to promote it! The book has already become a reading group favorite, and now that it's in paperback, I think it will become a book club staple. For those of you who have yet to experience the sheer page-turning joy of reading this book, here's a description in a nutshell: it is a heart-wrenching but deeply funny and ultimately uplifting story of family, love, loyalty, and hope—a captivating look at the wonders and absurdities of human life . . . as only a dog could tell it. Intriguing, no? Browse inside the book here to see for yourself what everyone is talking about.

Check out Garth's brand-new website which is full of great info and fun stuff.

I just bought this book today (couldn't resist) so don't enter me in the drawing, although I'll tweet about it to spread the word!

He's fairly local to me, and I had the pleasure of hearing him speak. I'd already read the book, but my DH hadn't and I think we both enjoyed his talk equally.

I twittered it - my first twitter post too. My twitter 'name' is jetsixteen - I hope the twit worked (is that what you call them - twits? I heard tweet but then it would be tweeter instead of twitter, right???).

[Melissa C]

Just RT'd it on twitter. Please enter me in this drawing! Thanks!

I've already read it, so dont' enter me. I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed the book. It took me a while to adjust to having a book told from a dog's perspective and to reach the point where I enjoyed the parts about racing. Before long, I had almost forgotten that Enzo was a dog and nodding my head through the parts about racing!

I would love to read this book.
Please enter me and I also put a tile on my blog:

I hope I did it right, I am totally new to Facebook (about 2 weeks now) and have my 12 yo daughter helping me! But there is a cute little pic of Enzo on my wall from Garth Stein's neat new website.

I hope I can be entered!

Thanks, your friend, Kiki
