What I'm Reading Now -- Rin Tin Tin

Rin Tin Tin: The Life and the Legend came out last fall, and was great Christmas gift bait for those people you're obligated to buy gifts for but don't actually know that well - in-laws, cousins, business associates.  If they had a dog, wanted a dog, or expressed any interest in the animal kingdom, this was the gift for them.

But the thing about this book which made it different from a lot of the other gift bait is that it actually got some really laudatory reviews as a quality book.  Granted, quality is a standard I sometimes waive in books.  I mean, c'mon, I read the Twilight books.  The jig is up.

However, I am a dog person, and apparently a sucker.
