I recently read
The Art of Racing in the Rain. What a great read! It was one of those books that I couldn't put down. I actually had to take a break towards the end just to prolong the fact that it would be done sooner than I wanted it to be. It was simple, yet inspiring and profound. In that sense, it reminded me of my all-time favorite -
The Alchemist. Do yourself a favor and read both :)
