Picked up several others since starting I Am A Cat, will keep listening to the audio book, just putting it down for a little.

I'm not going to finish reading this book.
birdsandink's review against another edition
I'm currently somewhere in chapter 2. Chapter 1 was pretty enjoyable, but I think this is a book that I won't read all in one sitting, but rather bits here and there when I can/have time. (I started this right before I went back to grad school, so my reading-for-pleasure-time has dropped drastically.) It's very interesting to read a story about the behaviors of people through the eyes of a cat. I'm hoping that tone remains throughout the book.

When starting this book, I was gripped by the first chapter. I really enjoyed following the observations of a cat. However, as the book goes on it becomes more about philosophy and the men discussing philosophy. I felt like the cat’s voice was lost at points and replaced with the authors philosophical ideas.
