*Fifteen Dogs* by André Alexis April 14th, 2015 171 Pages ISBN: 9781552453056 . . Hermes and Apollo need to settle a bet and fifteen dogs, granted human consciousness and language will be how they settle it. As they watch, the dogs become divided, cope with new thoughts and feelings, and attempt to come to terms with their relationships to humans. . . This is one of those books I picked up purely because of my desire to read something more introspective and "high brow." It is definitely a thoughtful and affective novel, worth reading for some insights into the pitfalls and positives of this thing we call human consciousness. . . ************************************* #bookstagram #bibliophile #booknerd #bookish #booklover #bookphotography #readersofinstagram #booksofinstagram #booklove #bookaddict #bookporn #becauseofreading #bookblogger #books #read #literature #tolacunaandback #TLAB #fifteendogs #coachhousebooks #andrealexis #gillerprize #trilliumbookaward #fiction
