Chike and the River by Prue Theobalds, Chinua Achebe
4.0
I love lorries. I need to read more Nigerian books. Loved the characterization, loved the delightful phrases (one day is one day, big boys don't cry, mind yourself, people without home-training). Very nostalgic.
Life of Pi by Yann Martel
3.75
Kinda slow start, and rocky last couple pages, but a very engrossing read. Do I have the worst reading comprehension of all time? Was it all a dream/metaphor at the end? Also is author the actual author or what? I guess that's the point. Funky, funny, wild ride. I loved the religion chapters, and the description of atheists/agnostics was hilarious.
Identity by Milan Kundera
4.25
Thought-provoking page-turner. I'm going to be thinking about this for a while, esp the ideas of friendship utility, multiple identities in different places, the tree of possibilities, and eyes.
