Life of Pi, Dice Man.....similar books?

[Maninadirndl]

Just read both of these books, I was led to Life of Pi by a blog somewhere which mentioned it whilst discussing Dice Man. I think Life of Pi is one of the most fascinating novels I have ever read (not that I've read a huge amount mind you)

I'm honoured to have received an email from the author of Dice Man.

Can anyone recommend owt similar?

heh heh... yappybluedog: i was twipping over my words, just like old elmer.

Blindness by Jose Sarramago is an amazing book. Not like Pi in the feelgood stakes, but certainly makes you think a l ot about (in)humanity.

Well I recentlyx got hold of The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Night Time and am awaiting a chance to dive in. With parents from UK out here time os short but I can't wait. With a mum who was a nurse of mental patients for 28 years - utter respect for her now I'm older - the world of the brain if yopu get my drift, is a fascinating area.

Well I finally finished Dog in the Night and i found it a touching story about coping in the modern world. While everyone else who is supposed to be "normal" around him wrecks marriages and breaks up their relationships and homes he seems to come through the whole experience in one small sense saner than them. Which says more to me about the modern world than the protagonist in the story.

More recommendations please!
