Really? I thought Life of Pi was a very breezy read, and an excellent book, especially when it starts getting surreal. Plus a legitimately brilliant ending.

Right now tryin to get some vonnegut (timequake) and a book called Life of Pi done before school. Life of Pi though is aggravating me though, something about the guy's writing I suppose.

What else have you read by vonnegut? I highly recommend reading Cat Cradle if you haven't already.

This little classic SF right here. It feels like a non-fiction book written as a narrative because it's basically a condensed "future history" of man over the next several billion years.

Just started An Inquiry into the Good by Kitaro Nishida, so far it's already good, I love how in the first chapter he already goes against most of the perspectives of positivist philosophy and contemporary psychology... there's something about putting "judgments" and "meaning" on a lower level than "pure experience" that really strikes a chord with me.
