50. Life of Pi by Yann Martel

This was also one of those books that "everyone" read a few years back. The protagonist Pi, an Indian boy explores issues of religion and spirituality from an early age and survives 227 days shipwrecked in the Pacific Ocean. The ending is very clever though I don't know if I actually like it. I think it's one of those literary twists that you either appreciate or you dislike for its very nature.

I read this as a book club selection a few years back and quite liked it, though I thought it dragged in the middle. Definitely makes you think and ponder which is always good.
