well.... sort of. it seems like I just dont have the time and/or the books to read. it's really sad actually :(
Hey! How's it going? Its been quite a long minute since I last logged on myself lol. but yeah, the life of pi class is over. India? Wow, that's mega awesome! I'm in the U.S. in Virginia. Nothing fancy.
Are you too a big fan of Michael Crichton?
Hi, I've "shelved" every book I can remember reading that wasn't a total dog. I read about 200 wpm, but for many years I had a lot of time on my hands. I really didn't have much else to do BUT read. I also read at compressed speed in audio and that can be much faster. If you have an audio editing prog. you can speed up audio on podcasts and some books. But, basically, I love learning stuff.
I am responding to your review of the life of pi. didn't want to post this on the book's page and ruin it for everyone else- but i wanted to explain a little about why there are two versions of pi's story, and how god is incorporated. probably wont convert you to liking the book, but wanted to stick up for why so many people do like this book! I did not feel that the book compels the reader to believe in god. Instead, the main character survives a terrible ordeal and chooses to face the trauma by viewing the people as wild animals and grounding his mental states in imagined stories like the island with the teeth- stories that explain his journey much more clearly than a step-by-step factual recall might. Instead of a graphic tale of Pi's painful experiences, we get the chance to experience it as a mythicalized, symbolic tale. The character's choice to describe it this way shows how it affected him, and makes us think more globally about how humankind deals with the cruelties of life, acknowledging the idea that god may be a concept created to deal with life, while proving how meaningful god can be to us.happy reading, it was interesting to hear your take!
I read your review for Life of Pi and I agree with you 100%. I had to read it for one of my classes and it almost made me never want to read another book ever again, which says a lot. The only thing worse than having to read that book is having to analyze every little bit of it on top of reading it... What really frustrates me are all of the "amazing" reviews and awards the stupid book has recieved. Idk, but it is nice to hear that someone else shares my strong dislike of such a waist of paper. :)
