Why read it?
1 author picked Homer's Odyssey as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
The animal is a spunky blind cat. The human is his adoptive mother who can’t resist adding the three-week-old kitten to her household of two other cats while trying to heal from a recent breakup. A memoir with a cool twist. You never know when you adopt a pet, how its personality will unfold; it was fun to read how memoirist Cooper struck paydirt with Homer.
From Meredith's list on people with other animals in the mix.
