A Great Book

Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen is a terrific book. I read it in a day and a half. It's my book group's September selection. It tells the story of a former circus vet during the depression as he looks back on his life from his 90s living in a nursing home. There's a love story at the heart of it and tons of period details about life on the road during the 30s. A great end of summer read. Enjoy!

Can I borrow that? I'm half way through book 2 of the Golden compass trilogy that you recommended, and I love it.
