IL, ugh. That makes me sad.
I know,
I won’t even say it took too long to set up the dramatic conflict because I knew right away Lesa was savior, and hero boy F’Lar would play a major role and Thread was coming, and other existential threats were clear by a third into the book I just… didn’t care enough to continue but I will say that the characters were well drawn.
Now next, I suppose I will have to queue up a Terry Pratchett novel and abandon it as well. That’s another classic science fiction series I have not read.
I've read all 40 or so of those. They don't need to be read in order so if you decide to delve into them, I'd start with either the ones dealing with the witches of Discworld or the City Watch of Ankh-Morpork.

There are other books in this series by W Bruce Cameron and I enjoyed them all. It also looks like he has some other dog books that I haven't read.
Thanks! The witches books sound best.
But I have many others to get through before Discworld. Also, I will need to try Phillip Pullman’s series. After that I will have tried the great modern classics of fantasy.
I saw that! The beginning of the sequel "A Dog's Journey" was at the end of my copy and it sounds somewhat interesting. I'll be looking into the others. Thanks.

That sounds like another good genre to pursue! I haven't read a good animal book since James Herriot.
Right now I'm reading "The Legacy of Luna: The Story of a Tree, a Woman and the Struggle to Save the Redwoods" about Julia Butterfly Hill--the woman who sat 180 feet above the ground in a redwood in an act of civil disobedience. Maybe some of you guys remember her? A few months ago I saw a series of YouTube video interviews with her and was hooked, and so now I'm reading her book. I have a lot of admiration for her. So far, a very good, compelling book.

The Big Book of 30 Day Challenges by Rosanna Casper. Also listening to Master Successful Personal Habits by Zig Ziglar.
The Alzheimer's Antidote , by Amy Berger. A bit of a slog, identifying the scourge as a metabolic disease (isn't everything these days?), and providing various targeted treatments.
Always Looking up, a memoir by Michael J Fox. Blissfully free of the towering ego and/or oppressive self-pity that characterizes so many celebrity offerings.
A slew of cozy mysteries--the cotton candy of reading material--mostly by Molly Fitz. The antidote to The Alzheimer's Antidote.
