Life of Pie was explained by the author in an interview I saw as a modern religous story.
I think reading a book more then once can be wasteful what with so many books I will never have time to read.
Another book I read last week is Darren Brown's Tricks of the Mind which is how the conjurer fools people and pretends to read their thoughts through trickery.
People in the US may have seen messiah where he pretends to be talking to the dead and they all believe him.
I strongly recomend McCarthys Bar to people as it shows us Irish in a funny and sincere light and will make you smile and laugh. He wrote a follow up called road to McCarthy where he goes to find all pubs called McCarthy all over the world.
He has distain for paddywhackery pubs and loves good conversation and proper pubs.
Many people prefer the follow up but both are real easy light and fun reads.
McCarthys Bar was a bestseller in the UK.
