For book- and cat-lovers

I'm a sucker for cats and books, so I can't wait to read this.

From the Associated Press:

DES MOINES, Iowa - He was a yellow tabby with twinkling green eyes, who arrived in the overnight drop box of a farmland library one frigid January night. Dewey Readmore Books became the library's star boarder and an international celebrity.picresized_1224568417_deweydook.jpg

Now he's the subject of a best seller that chronicles the struggles of the library worker who found the trembling kitten, the town that embraced him and Dewey himself.

"Dewey, the Small-Town Library Cat Who Touched the World," by Vicki Myron and Bret Witter, has 336,000 copies in print and has quickly climbed to the top 10 on The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Publishers Weekly and other lists of best sellers.

It's a long story, but you can read the rest here.

And if you still want more, check out Dewey's bio on the library's Web site.
