Okay, if you love cars, racing, and dogs, you've got to read, "The Art of Racing in the Rain".
I first heard about this book in Road&Track (I think...). The life of a budding race car driver, as told from the perspective of his dog.
You'll never look at your dog the same way again...
I read it, and turned it on to my wife, who just finished it. We both agree: I need to take our German Shepherd for a ride in the Cobra.
