Life of Pi (read 2/9/13) Highly recommended
Mr. and Mrs. Patel, their two sons, Ravi and Piscine “Pi” Molitor Patel, are emigrating to Canada, by cargo ship, when it sinks, leaving Pi and a Bengal tiger named Richard Parker as the sole survivors. It’s a wonderful story, beautifully written. Like Water For Elephants, the story is presented as having been told to the author by the central character.
