    Cueball's Book Club: Life of Pi

     

    Today I am introducing a new and likely unpopular feature to my usual nonsense: Cueball’s Book Club. If this gets the expected 20 or so views, this kind of stuff will likely not get posted by me again in the near future. I am operating under the basic assumption that anything Oprah can do, I can do better, this including stuffing my face with carbs and putting on beaucoup poundage. So why not a book club from the Cue? I only read for pleasure on vacations, and I recently very much enjoyed Yann Martel’s 2001 novel Life of Pi. Given that much of it takes place at sea, it was a perfect beach read (although I was somewhat fearful of running into Richard Parker roaming the shoreline, he an even more frightening orange-haired menace than my iReport stalker). I don’t look at reviews until after I’ve read the book myself, so I did this yesterday upon my return. SPOILER ALERT! I thought the ending was clearly ambiguous but chose to believe the “animal version”. My take on the consensus of the “online book blogger community” is that most believe the “human version”, and they frankly make more compelling arguments than I can. My question to you, the iReporter who has also read Life of Pi, is this: which ending do you believe?
