Kristin's Reviews > Outside the Dog Museum

This the second in just as many of Carroll's books that I have read that have made me weep at the end of them. Just flat out weep. Not just because they are ending and because they are utterly poignant but because they express with such power what it means to be worth something and to have a purpose in life. To be a screw-up and to still be important in the story of things. To close your eyes to the possibilities of life until life has to smack you in the face with them. To get everything wrong again and again and to lose things because of that and maybe not get them back because the time has passed.

This book is so hilarious and so thought-provoking and so timeless and so sublimely ridiculous. Please read it immediately.
