    'Life of Pi'

    I enjoyed "Life of Pi" much more than "The Inheritance of Loss." I had been put off of "Pi" because of the story when it first came out. A boy and a tiger lost at sea? No thank you. But I finally read it, and I'm glad I did.

    I'm not sure which of Pi's stories I believe. I prefer the Richard Parker version, but I'm afraid that wasn't the "true" one.

    And now, some quotes.
    I chose the sloth because its demeanour -- calm, quiet and introspective -- did something to soothe my shattered self.
    The presence of God is the finest of rewards.
    Faith in God is an opening up, a letting go, a deep trust, a free act of love -- but sometimes it was so hard to love. Sometimes my heart was sinking so fast with anger, desolation and weariness, I was afraid it would sink to the very bottom of the Pacific and I would not be able to lift it back up.
