Holy Cow by David Duchovny

Holy Cow

David Duchovny

The long awaited debut novel by the X Files actor David Duchovny and perhaps not what the reader might have expected. Not an alien in or out of sight! Instead you get a fresh perspective on how humans treat animals. If you are happy to go along with talking, travelling and technology savvy creatures, you will enjoy this. It's certainly one of the funniest books I have read recently.

Extract
I found other books with maps and charts that showed every part of the world, showed me where this magical land of India was. It truly existed, this place where the people had wised up and realized that we cows were gods too. There were so many other lands and countries, more than I could memorize. I thought about how lucky those cows were that were born in India and got to spend there lives there. And then I thought: Why not me? I thought: WHY CAN'T I GO TO INDIA?
