GOOD BOOK

Recently I started reading “The Longest Trip Home” by John Grogan. Of course, I love a well-written book with a well-crafted story and this author certainly shines. Although I must admit that when reading a book, I seldom pay attention to the author’s names. And so to my surprise, I discovered midway through the book that I recognized the author.

He mentions, in the book, that shortly after his wedding, he and his wife bought a high-spirited Labrador dog named Marley. Good grief I thought, I know Marley. I read all about him in the book, “Marley and Me.” And I immediately realized, the journalist in “The Longest Trip Home” who worked for newspaper in Florida was the same journalist in “Marley.” But as much as I like the book I am currently reading, I can guarantee you I will not go see the movie, if one is made. I saw the movie, “Marley and Me” after I read the book. And though the movie was good, it could never equal the book.
