Life of Pi

Hey all, I'm back, with 7 new letter attached to my name. haha.
I can't get my old one back, guess it serves me right for not being around for 8 months.

Anyways, since I know this to be a well read and intelligent forum, I checking to see here who have read the book Life of Pi, and what you guys think of the crazy island in chapter 92. Could a biome like that actually exist with just meerkats?

Welcome back, Obsidian!

That is all I can say, because the rest of your post is entirely beyond my ken.

Peace.

Fable on the other hand is having a holiday of some sort where there is no internet access. According to him he'll be back within this week.

Heard of Life Of Pi, have yet to read it though. I remember it because it knocked out an Australian book to win the Booker Prize a while back. Tim Winton should of won, but I guess Life Of Pi is a decent enough book

The movie rights have been bought by Fox though....

I'll stay here shuddering in fear.
5$ says they make the Protagonist a hot female in a ratty shirt.

It's nice to be back Kid0037238

Three and a seventh? That would spoil the fun hugely
