Life of Pi
Originally uploaded by ottergreen1.
As a get-well-soon present, my father sent me a couple of books: A little guidebook on books and reading, The Chronicles of Narnia - CS Lewis and Life of Pi - Yann Martel.
I read the little guidebook first, cause it was such an easy read and it was only around a hundred pages. I started reading Life of Pi but found the first pages interesting but not really exciting so I started on CS Lewis (besides, people were telling me that it was horribly good).
But when my friend Bradley/Brent told me how much he was enjoying Life of Pi, well I had to get back to reading it. There's a whole Chronicles of Narnia movie coming up anyway.
I haven't read much yet but all I know is that there's this very spiritual Indian teenage boy who gets stranded in a little boat with a Tiger. More on this when I finish the story.

>> The surgery that Vincent undergoes to increase his height in the movie Gattaca. It's named after the Russian doctor who invented it 40 years ago to treat dwarfism. This painful operation adds length by allowing new bone to grow in the gap left by gradually seperating ends of the broken bone. The patient's shinbones are cut in two, a brace is applied and metal pins would pull apart the bones a millimetre each day. Risks include feet permanently turned at odd angles, twisted legs, and weakened bones that break again and again.
