Anybody here read this book?

It's by Yann Martel. I'm about halfway through. It's about a kid who after a shipwreck finds himself stuck on a lifeboat with a tiger, a zebra, and a hyena. The zebra just bought it.

The tiger's name is Richard Parker. That's kind of how this novel goes. lol

Anyway it's very strange in a good way.

I found this interactive site based on the book. Check it out:

Sounds interesting, I will order it online.

2the9s said:

Well, than perhaps we can start some other kind
of club. Like a reading circle where we all pick
the same book, read it and then discuss it online?

What about it?

This is a fabulous book! I read it ages ago and I loved the entire story. It was a great adventure and I highly recommend it.

I'm reading Thomas Pynchon - The Crying of lot 49!

So far yes I do!

Heh, I picked this up in the shop thinking it was a pop mathematical text, but flung it back in disgust when I realised it was something less nerdy than that
