BOOKS: Water for Elephants

My sister-in-law Ann read it for her book club, then gave it to us. Jeannie read it and liked it, too. So I read it, despite some apprehension about the premise: This old guy in a nursing home reminisces about his summer in 1931 spent with a train circus. It turned out to be a pretty darned good book--interesting characters tied into the weird lifestyle of the Depression-era traveling circus. Give it a try.
