Something happened to the last thread, and I can't find it, so here is a new one.
I read "Choke" while on my vacation. It was a male-centric book, but I liked it anyway, especially the part where the main character "rapes" a sex addict to fulfill her sex fantasy. It was REALLY funny.
I am re-reading "Life of Pi", mostly because that was all that was available to me when I finished "Choke" on my vacation. It's really a great story, especially the last 2/3 of the book. If you aren't really interested in this character's spiritual journey, you can skip ahead to chapter 29 without losing much of the story, I think.
