the book recommendation thread

Since I liked this book a lot, I think everyone else in the world should read it. Check out Life of Pi by Yann Martel. In a nutshell, it's about a boy surviving a shipwreck on a lifeboat with dangerous animals. The first section of the book introduces the boy's life in India with his family and the zoo that they run. Then the boy becomes simultaneously fascinated with several religions, which results in a cool dialogue between his mentors from each church when they realize he's been attending all of them. So the book is about zoo animals, religion, and survival at sea, which is a pretty good read. Then the last section reveals something that adds a new layer of thought-provoking goodness. Very cool. It's an easy read that's really satisfying, I think.

But you don't have to take my word for it!

Jam it back in, in the dark.
