You crack me up. Love the Eco essays also, and thanks so much for pointing out that the salmon is dead and smoked. But was once alive. Love animals but am not much for adult fiction featuring them. I wrote on nonfiction for that reason.

I’m an animal person, but I don’t read a lot of animal-related books _ fiction or non-fiction.
Happy Weekly Geeks

I think werewolves and dragons should count. I'm adding Felidae and 13 1/2 Lives of Captain Bluebear to my TBR pile. Gavin’s latest blog post..Weekly Geeks

Hah. I'm totally with you. If I were a character in a romance, I would totally be a villain, which everyone would know the instant a dog appeared, because I would try to discreetly nudge it away instead of good-naturedly ruffling its fur and babbling nonsense at it. Also because my internal monologue would be referring to "it," rather than him or her or coootsey-woootsey-widdle-baby-boo. Nicola O.’s latest blog post..“Pay Attention, Class!”

Babe the movie is cute but I prefer the book. I wrote about cats.

I loved Babe, too! Even though I can’t stand other movies with talking animals. And I haven’t even read Animal Farm, well, because of the animals. Lol. I do love animals, but not in books. Not really sure why that is. The only one I remember reading and having loved was Life of Pi. And picture books, which don’t count, I guess, as animals are a given in children’s books.
