Someone asked what I am reading these days. I enjoy this story about two rats, one lives in the city, and the other lives in the country. They each have their strengths and weaknesses. I find myself wishing I could meet up with the country rat here in the city, where his weaknesses can work to my advantage. I like a book that leads one to imagine.... 'what if....'
In my real world I much prefer a well roasted, savory lamb chop to some hairy rodent who is giving me the eye as far as my dinner is concerned. If you've ever actually eaten a live rat you know it feels like you're eating a wriggling undigested hairball with a nasty, gooey center.
The thrill is more in the capture than the nosh.
But the story is tres bon, and I enjoy it. It is one of my top ten favorite books.
