Books 3 and 4

Life of Pi

My Favorite Quote:

"It was my first clue that atheists are my brothers and sisters of a different faith, and every word they speak speaks of faith. Like me, they go as far as the legs of reason will carry them- and then they leap."

This book is in three parts. I loved the first part. It made me think a lot about religion, particularly the peculiarity of Christianity. I really liked the last part. It made me think about perspective.
The middle part was mainly a story, with various insights scattered throughout.
If you like adventure/survival stories, I think you will really like this book.
I only wish the middle part got me thinking as much as the first.

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

This book was not as amazing as I remember it from when I was 13.
My theory:
I think that Rowling's writing style matured with each book, just as Harry matured. The later books have much more substance, quality, and humor in my opinion.
I still like this book though.
