The Life of Pi

My sister Andrea and I have ventured to start a book club. Online. On our blogs. Currently, there is only her and me in it. Really, we're okay with that. But if anyone else would like to join us, or just join in for a particular book, or just join in the conversation--feel free. Our actual plan includes reading the book and then writing an essay about it, mostly as a way to keep those mental skills that have been tarnishing since college sharp.

The Life of Pi is our first book--as you may have guessed. Here's a link to the summary. Happy reading!

Oh, the link to Andrea's blog is on the sidebar--Life at 169. You can read about her take on all of this there.

I read it. I liked it. Nothing phenomenal though.

WHAT???? Lindsay, read it again. How old were you when you read it? How FAST did you read it? And how much were you able to talk about it while you read it. Obviously, you missed a few things if you aren't totally enthused about it.

Andrea, I read it for Mr. Warren, and he initiated a TON of discussion. In fact i think I missed the bus the day after I finished it and I stayed after class to discuss it with him. I was thinking a lot about it, he brought up all the possibilities HE leaned towards, we talked about every aspect of the book and what we believed or didn't believe. I still just don't think it was phenomenal. It was good. Not great.
