Grown-up Time Book Review: Life of Pi by Yann Martel

The Life of Pi is written by a Canadian author and has not only reached National Best Seller status, but has also won the Man Booker Prize. This book is plain great and that is all I have to say about that. So, let’s fill up some space with my favourite quotes. ☺

"I have nothing to say of my working life, only that a tie is a noose, and inverted though it is, it will hang a man nonetheless if he is not careful.”

“It was a huge zoo, spread over numberless acres, big enough to require a train to explore it, though it seemed to get smaller as I grew older, train included. Now it’s so small it fits into my head.”

“To choose doubt as a philosophy of life is akin to choosing immobility as a means of transportation.”

“Come aboard if your destination is oblivion –it should be our next stop.”

Yes, I thoroughly enjoyed this book.
