Welcome to Litsy!

Loved this tale of humanized dogs in modern New York. It‘s like Frankenstein crossed with The Island of Dr. Moreau.

Because I‘m trapped under a cat and can‘t post a pic of the book, here‘s my monster dog looking like she‘s been caught doing something untoward to her sloth.

This is Oscar, my new foster kitten. He‘s a cuddly little guy and a good reading companion.

#AlltheBooks!TBR

At 21 years, LotMD is the oldest on my #tbrlist. I lost the print version for whatever circumstance, but since found the 20th anniversary ebook. It‘s been uploaded and finally getting read along with the bios on Prince and Stevie Nicks.

ETA: Another reading challenge I‘m participating in 2018 is @Marchpane #192019challenge. This book is my #1997 read.

So I like everything about this interesting book except the main female human. She is truly annoying and childish. She was bearable until the last third of the book. Despite that it is a well inventive story.

#BookMail 📬🎉 I've been really excited about these two books and now I finally have them in my hands!

What a wild ride! Totally worth the second wave (the 20th anniversary edition came out a few weeks ago) buzz!
This book has everything. Dogs. Mad scientists. Revolutions. General unease...

Seriously worth a trip back to the 90s...or the 90s picture of 2011, really.

Finished this at the mall #Starbucks on my break.

An initially delightful and pulpy hook expands and contracts into a poetic and haunting work of existentialism. Highly recommend.

The character of Ludwig is a tragic recluse, whose research and personal struggle form the bulk of the novel's gripping backstory. I'll probably have this one finished tomorrow at my current rate.

Engaged in some shopping today:

- the Bakis came recommended by @Liberty ; even had the original cover.
- at this rate, I'll probably own all the My Struggle books before I get around to reading any of them.
- Wasn't a big fan of Zero K, but general consensus seems to be that it's lesser DeLillo, so I figured I'd give his more hyped books a look.

@Melmar yes!!! #buddyread

Got this late last week, have read a few pages and so far I'm intrigued.

While I enjoyed this book i felt like nothing happened for a long time....except everybody was suspicious, but no one could say why. I finished, but mainly just to mark it off my TBR.

My family took me to the running store, the bookstore, and to a fancy restaurant for Mother's Day! I had to pick up Lives of the Monster Dogs after listening to Liberty talk about it on All the Books. Happy Mother's Day!

@Liberty since you're always recommending this... 😊😊😊

Sensing a theme. 🐶

Day 20 of the #Riotgrams challenge: favorite cover! This has been my favorite cover for twenty years, partly because I love the book so much and partly because we had an Alaskan Malamute the first sixteen years of my life and he was amazing. (I am REALLY EXCITED that FSG is releasing a 20th anniversary edition in May, but I am sad that they changed the cover. But the new cover is cool.) ❤️📚🖤

I worked in a bookstore that had a reputation for well-read staff & great staff recommendations. But once, after recommending a book to a customer (a Gaiman title, iirc), he recommended a book to me! I bought Lives of the Monster Dogs that day, but, to be honest, it was a few years before I read it, having one or two misfires. But once I finally committed to this strange fantasy novel, I adored it. #recommendedby #readjanuary @RealLifeReading

Love the prompt! #weirdestbookyouveeverread This wins. Hands down. I read it 15 years ago and wow. Crazy. Nuts. Weird. Dogs in top hats, parties, an illness that might destroy them. Man, it is crackass. #novemberland

I read many unusual / disturbing books so judging what counts as weird is kinda hard but the description for this one definitely threw me: "They come to New York from an isolated town in the Canadian wilderness. Captivating and elegant in their top hats, tails, and bustle skirts, the highly intelligent dogs with artificial voice boxes and prosthetic hands become instant celebrities." ??? #somethingforsept #septphotochallenge #weirdbook
