I finished Life of Pi by Yann Martel last night. I mostly liked it. It reads as an adventure story most of the way through - I was left wondering how it was Booker-winning material - but then it becomes something more complex and interesting.
This was my only iBook*, which meant I had to read it on the iPad. Annoying, but I've got it out of the way now.
Next up should be Lest Darkness Fall by L Sprague de Camp, which I've been meaning to read for months, but kept bumping it for something else, for various reasons. A classic bit of time travel fiction, I understand.
*Not strictly true. I also have Redbreast by Jo Nesbo for the same reason (Apple's 12 Days of Christmas giveaways), but I also have the Kindle version of that.
