Default Life of Pi

I am now reading The Life of Pi, by Yann Martel- a fascinating book about a young man on a sea voyage from India to Canada along with a ship full of zoo animals when the boat capsizes. Pi finds himself clinging to a lifeboat with a precarious fellow passenger (a 450 lb Bengal tiger).

I am still working on the book, but so far it is a great read. Anyone else read or reading this one??

Peace,

John

I read this and dug it. Pleasantly surprised by how funny it was. Another good funny book I am reading right now is The Book Of Ralph by John McNally. Funny mofo, McNally.

I haven't read the book but the story fondly reminds me of the song "clocks" by coldplay. The whole album is awesome. If you haven't heard the other album tracks I recomend it to be inspired. As songs such as "politik" (made up spelling of a real word, not what you may think) and album cover track "a rush of blood to the head" are amazing. Don't forget about "amsterdam" in your wanderings. But I like the whole thing, as you owe yourself a listen.
