Life of Pi by Yann Martel
Life of Pi

melissamarkham, September 26, 2012

Like good wine and a good friend, this marvelous book gets better with age. The first read-through is a delightful journey of discovery. Subsequent readings delve the discerning reader into Martel's profound meaning. The reader is presented with two stories and asked which is the true story. In the end, though, it doesn't matter. What matters is why we believe (or refuse to believe) that which requires imagination.
