Life of Pi by Yann Martel


Here's a suggestion which has come from many friends as a highly inspirational book. I haven't read the book. I intend to read it as soon as I get a chance.

Meanwhile, I would like to hear from the rest about this book, if they had a chance to read it.

Life of Pi by Yann Martel.

Piscine "Pi" Molitor Patel, an Indian boy from Pondicherry, explores issues of religion and spirituality from an early age and survives 227 days shipwrecked in the Pacific Ocean. "Pi" is the narrator and main character of the story. The story is told as a narrative when Pi is much older and living in Canada. He recounts the story of his life and thus the 227 day journey on a lifeboat when his boat sinks.

Here's the link to the summary of the book for a quick review.

Enjoy.
