Life of Pi

so, this guy Pi's in a lifeboat with a tiger and a hyena, afloat in the shark-filled waters of the Pacific Ocean.  he looks to be the only survivor of the capsized cargo ship that was carrying his family and assorted zoo animals to Canada.

the basic scenario (lifeboat, predators, afloat alone in a hostile environment) sounds like a pretty good metaphor for life to me. 

am only about halfway through it, i'll report more later.

A friend of read this book, and recommended it. I'll have to put it on my list, which is right now getting very long, lol.

It's been recommended so often I had no choice but put in in my reading cue. So many books, so little time! Argh, argh, argh!
