ooooh.  I liked Life of Pi....even though I didn't really "get it". (all the symbolism about the boy, the lifeboat, the tiger...)  I have no idea what the book was really about.

I have to say, I'm glad to hear that Lil Me.  I too am floundering a bit.  I'm on the track, that the symbolism of his collection of religions and his interaction with the animals on the lifeboat, are somehow related....but I'm not quite far enough in the story to know if this is so.

So, are you saying this book is an elusive enigma to the end ?  I'm already at that stage where I'm hoping for it to start connecting.

Bump this question for PC and Gopher:  (posted from last page)

   It's funny how you guys were talking about The Secret Life of Bees!



I just purchased it today and can't wait to read it.



Are you guys going to watch the movie when it comes out?



I also heard that the book, Eat Pray Love by Elizabeth Gilbert is good.  Has anyone read it?[/DIV]

Eat Pray Love was ok.  I didn't hate it nor love it.

I probably wouldn't go out of my way to watch it.....but if it happened to be on, I wouldn't turn away.  It's a great story....and I can't see any room for Hollywood to ruin this story.  It's basic and wonderful in its simplicity and there is little room for wild interpretation.....which is usually the downfall of books turned to film.

Oh I just remembered the book A Separate Peace- by John Knowles as one of the books that had a major influence.
