The Life of Pi - Yann Martel

Life of Pi Life of Pi by Yann Martel


My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Okay, four stars because I'm still thinking about the book and it's been a couple of days since I actually finished it.

This is another of a stack of books that I'm determined to FINALLY read. I picked it up on a recommendation, as I do alot of books, and I think I even lost the original copy I bought and then ended up with this one.

Anyways, I enjoyed it. ALOT. I especially liked the last chapter, which is a transcribed interview, so the book tells us between Pi and a couple of gentlemen from the shipping company.

I am still thinking about which story do I believe, which I believe is the point. The beginning says that it's a tale that will make you believe in God, and I don't believe that was true for me.

I will say that it's worth the time to read and while it took me a while to finish it, it was just time constraints that I had not that the book was uninteresting.

Keep your eyes our for meerkats. And, I'd add it to your to-read pile if you have not yet.

Yeah, I'm still thinking about it and I LOVE that in a book.

Zeitgeist and the month of December…

makes I am planning to blog through the month of December, you know one of those blog everyday kind of clubs.  I like the idea of them a lot – though I’m not promising anything spectacular, because I tend to get sidetracked a lot, but I am planning to blog at least a little. I wasn’t even going to bother attempting another one of these things – the dismal failures and the guilt, the added stress from the guilt, who needs it really!?! I suppose if I actually made it all the way through I’d feel pretty awesome but it’s all good. Actually, what most excited me about this blog all the month thing was the theme – Zeitgeist – isn’t that just one of the coolest words ever? It just sounds cool.  I am thinking of adopting it as my theme for 2011 – I’m not joking, I like it that much. In case you don’t know (or haven’t googled a defintion yet) here’s an overview of the meaning from wikipedia : is "the spirit of the times" or "the spirit of the age." Zeitgeist is the ge...

Where I've been... well, nowhere really. I have been trying to stay off the computer and get some studying done. Obviously this is not working very well since here I am, but it is an effort. This new test I am studying for to determine whether I'm cool enough to enter the Education program at Western Washington University is scaring the pants off me. I really wish they would accept my already passing Praxis scores as I have already gone through all the freaking out, stressing out, studying and lack of sleep for that test. I don't test very well. I really never have. I am full of that panicky test anxiety right up until the professor, etc says go, and then I calm down and keep telling myself, you know this or you don't... just breathe goober. I am almost always convinced that I'm going to fail, and fail badly and I can't remember actually ever failing, but it could still happen. So, now I stay up late (because that's the only time it's quiet here) a...
