All Creatures Great and Small by James Herriott, 442 pages
I'm possibly the last person on earth to discover this charming memoir, but I'm still going to crow about it. Told in episodes centering on the odd characters (both human and animal) in rural Yorkshire, Herriott's book covers his first couple of years as a country vet, treating everything from spoiled dogs to neglected cattle. Throughout it all, there's a wry sense of humor, enhanced in the audiobook by wonderful narrator Christopher Timothy. I absolutely loved this, and I'll definitely be reading Herriott's other two memoirs.
