January 2014 - Life of Pi



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!
