We celebrated our January bookclub
choice (Life of Pi) by eating all
things PIE! We had pizza pie courtesy of
me (Andrea) and a delicious pumpkin pie courtesy of Pam. We
didn’t all finish the book by the time that we met, but intended to finish (or
at least watch the movie). Those of us
who were reading were surprised by the beginning of the book – more than half
of the book is taken up by Pi talking about his life in India – what it’s like
to run a zoo, strange animal relationships, his religious life, and generally
his life. The book is so universally
touted as the book about the boy who survives at sea with a tiger that it’s
shocking that it takes so long to get to the lifeboat and the tiger.
Our next book is Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell and
we’ll be meeting at my place for brunch!
