So, I finished Dog Days: Dispatches From Bedlam Farms. It was a great book that I purposely did not fly through. The pacing of the stories, taken from author Jon Katz's time on his Bedlam Farm herding sheep and spending time with his dogs, cows and donkeys, kinda demands that you read it at a nice leisurely pace. I'll say this - farming sounds incredibly hard, but incredible rewarding! Taffy will love the book, but hate me for giving it to her to read.
So, what's next for Taylor? While I would love to read the latest David Sedaris, I think I am going to wait on that one, as I have another book he's associated with, that I had totally forgot I bought until Babaloo had moved in, and I found it on a bookshelf (kinda like Julia and Julia). Children Playing Before A Statue Of Hercules is a collection of short stories chosen and edited by Sedaris himself. I think the shorter stories will be a nice change of pace for me, what with the holidays coming up. Or I'll want to kill myself, one or the other.
Has anyone read this book? Or Dog Days, for that matter?
