Vacation Reading Log

I FINALLY finished “The Life of Pi” Please congratulate me. It was a much more difficult book than I usually read, but I’m glad I stuck with it. In the end, I think it’s one of the best books I’ve read in a long time. I felt like one of you guys coming up with excuses for not reading. It was the kind of book that I would have liked to have read in college and discussed in class where the professor could have explained all the stuff I didn’t understand to me. If anyone wants to try it, you can borrow it. About 1/2 way through it becomes a survival story and gets pretty exciting. The beginning is a lot about Hinduism, Islam, and Christianity. That’s the confusing part.

Now I’m reading “The Mozart Season” It’s from our class library and is about a 12 year old girl who is practicing the violin for a big contest. Those of you in strings would probably identify with it.

Let me know what you’re reading this vacation.
