SUMMARY:Book Discussion Group | Life of Pi
DESCRIPTION:Join us in-person for the Friends of the Library book discussio
 n group on Monday the 27th! June's selection is "Life of Pi" by Yann Marte
 l. Copies of the book discussion selections are available to check out at 
 the library\, beginning around the middle of the month\, while supplies la
 st.\nFrom Amazon.com:\nThe son of a zookeeper\, Pi Patel has an encycloped
 ic knowledge of animal behavior and a fervent love of stories. When Pi is 
 sixteen\, his family emigrates from India to North America aboard a Japane
 se cargo ship\, along with their zoo animals bound for new homes.\nThe shi
 p sinks. Pi finds himself alone in a lifeboat\, his only companions a hyen
 a\, an orangutan\, a wounded zebra\, and Richard Parker\, a 450-pound Beng
 al tiger. Soon the tiger has dispatched all but Pi\, whose fear\, knowledg
 e\, and cunning allow him to coexist with Richard Parker for 227 days whil
 e lost at sea. When they finally reach the coast of Mexico\, Richard Parke
 r flees to the jungle\, never to be seen again. The Japanese authorities w
 ho interrogate Pi refuse to believe his story and press him to tell them "
 the truth." After hours of coercion\, Pi tells a second story\, a story mu
 ch less fantastical\, much more conventional--but is it more true?
