With 650,000 copies already in print, the book sits atop two best-seller lists, ahead of offerings from such heavyweights as David McCullough, Frank McCourt and Joan Didion. Released in October, “Marley” has quickly and quite unexpectedly become top dog in the publishing world. In a funny and poignant memoir, “Marley & Me: Life and Love With the World’s Worst Dog,” first-time author John Grogan remembers his late pooch as an irrepressible force of nature and as a faithful companion who taught his human masters a thing or two about loyalty and unconditional love. He stole food off the dinner table, slobbered incessantly, drank from the toilet bowl, and ate bath towels, sponges, socks, used tissues, plastic toys, furniture, speaker covers, paychecks, even an expensive gold necklace. He went berserk during thunderstorms, destroying everything in his path. The 97-pound Labrador retriever crashed through screen doors with alarming regularity. – Marley did his best to live down to his reputation. ![]()
