The Pig and I


I just recently finished reading a book by Rachel Toor called "The Pig and I". I would not say that this was the best book that I have ever read, but it one that I could easily relate to.
This funny, irreverent memoir is for every woman who has ever come home from a disastrous date or day at the office to the unconditional love and comfort of a pet.
Rachel's relationship with her pets were the only thing that let her reach the most tend and vulnerable parts of her self. Throughout the book Rachel shares her experiences and relationships with men who she compares to dogs, and the animals that she see far superior to me.
This is by no means a man bashing book, but a book on how one person can substain a relationship with an animal and how it is so difficult for her to substain a releationship with another human being.
For me it was a good read and I could relate to it, ok other than the fact that I never had a potbellied pig living in my house, I felt as though I was not alone.
"Why is it so easy to love an animal and so hard to live with a man?"
