The Art of Racing In The Rain



I love dogs and I loved this book by Garth Stein. It is written from "Enzo's" perspective, he is the dog in the story. Pretty sure anyone would love this story...


A few lines I enjoyed: "There is no dishonor in losing the race, there is only dishonor in not racing because you are afraid to lose." Another couple of lines that can easily be transferred to any occasion in life:


" A winner, a champion, will accept his fate. He will continue with his wheels in the dirt. He will do his best to maintain his line and gradually get himself back on the track when it is safe to do so. Yes, he loses a few places in the race. Yes, he is at a disadvantage. But he is still racing. he is still alive. "


" The race is long. It is better to drive within oneself and finish the race behind the others than it is to drive too hard and crash."


Cheers to yet another GREAT book...
