May pleasure reading

This month I read the book Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen. I first heard about the book when I was reading an interview with Robert Pattinson and he said something about a new movie he is working on which also stars Reese Witherspoon. I really like Reese Witherspoon, so I looked up the movie and saw that it was based on a book. I really had no idea what the book was even about, but I decided to read it anyway.



The book is about an old man who is in a nursing home but it's all about flashbacks to his life right after vet school when he joined a circus as the vet for all the animals. He met his (future) wife while there for the summer, but she was married to a cruel and somewhat mentally disturbed man. I really liked the way the book ended, but while I was reading it I got a bit sad thinking about how when I'm older I hope I'm not shoved alone in a nursing home or something. I'd like to think that Keegan and I will grow really old together and have a bunch of kids that will come to visit us. But I'm sure most people miserable in nursing homes think their kids will visit... Well, anyway, I liked the book, it was easy to read and most of all, it held my attention. That's really all I ask for :-)
