I don't know if I'm odd, but I don't mind so much reading about animals if they are true stories. I don't like animal fiction much though. You would think it would be the other way around, but I think it's because fiction feels emotionally manipulative.Alycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10919057159829023714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-76761514956804645352011-01-06T13:41:52.883-05:002011-01-06T13:41:52.883-05:00Looks like a good book, but I know I can't rea...Looks like a good book, but I know I can't read it.

I can't even imagine sending a dog up into space only to know that it is going to die there without getting upset. I always have trouble with animal books, because so few of them have happy endings.
