Today in borders I was reading snippets of "Babylon's Ark" a recounting of the efforts to save the animals in the Bagdad zoo during the Iraq war. Holy crap. I hate reading animal books and being so ready to cry. Same thing happend to me a few months ago when I was reading a picture book about SPCA efforts to rescue the pets left behind from Katrina. Holy crap, I nearly cried while standing in Barnes and Noble. Embarrassing, but it's hard to help it when animals are helpless.
"Age cannot wither her, nor custom stale
Her infinite variety: other women cloy
The appetites they feed, but she makes hungry
Where most she satisfies."
