Default Life of Pi

I would like to recommend Life of Pi by Yann Martel.
Its a fantastic book and genuinely one of the greatest stories I have read in a long time! Its about a boy who gets stuck on a boat with a bengal tiger, an organutan, a hyena and a zebra. But it has an incredible twist right at the end.

A MUST read!

What a great book Agreed!

Has anybody read anything esle by Martel? Is there anything else of his that is worth a read? Is most of his work based on travelling or is does it have other major themes? I'd quite like to find something else that he's done but I've read enough travel literature for the time being!

The good news for Pi fans is that there is a film based on the book coming out later this year
