I finished such a beautiful book, Life of Pi. I couldn’t believe how much I just had to read.
It’s a boy who is shipwrecked to a lifeboat with an orangutan, a hyena, a zebra with a broken leg and a huge Bengal tiger. The tiger eventually eats all of his companions save for the boy.
Chapter 22 is a very interesting chapter showing what a religious man, an atheist and an agnostic would see in their deathbed.
Chapter 26 must be the funniest
Chapter 37 is the most exciting.
Chapter 90 has to be the saddest chapter in the book. I almost cried
It’s a wonderful book. I feel great now that I read all of it.
At an aside, story of sole survivor, Mr. Piscine Molitor Patel, Indian citizen, is an astounding story of courage and endurance in the face of extraordinary difficult and tragic circumstances. In the experience of this investigator, his story is unparalleled in the story of shipwrecks. Very few castaways can claimed to have survived so long at sea as Mr. Patel, and none in the company of an adult Bengal tiger.

>> 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.
