Book binging: The Life of Pi

Life of Pi by Yann Martel

This is one of those rare books that can be recommended to everybody.  Yes, that's right, everybody.  It contains a magic that is devoid of mysticism.  After I closed the book I sat upright and just had to cry.  Not a few tears.  Not a few minutes.  These were great heaving sobs mourning and celebrating whatever it is that allows us to make it through terrifying events in our lives and remain whole, changed, but whole. 

Read it.
