I’m reading “All Creatures Great and Small”, for the second time. It’s nonfiction, written by a British vet. But it’s really a book about people more than one about animals.

I loved his books. My mom gave me “All Creatures Great and Small” in the 80s. I read that and a couple of other books by James Herriot. I’m glad to see those books are still being read.

I bet just about every veterinarian has ALL CREATURES GREAT AND SMALL. My friend who runs Brentwood Animal Hospital in Tennessee has a very nice print edition.

Alexander Solzhenitsyn’s CANCER WARD is a wonderful novel and the translation by Nicholas Bethell and David Burg is brilliant (the translators took some license and according to some improved an already great novel). It is more about life than it is about the cancer hospital.
