Life of Pi

I have just begun reading Yann Martel's Life of Pi. I am something of a speed reader. I can read a novel in about two hours. Unfortunately, I've taken to reading "Life of Pi" at bedtime, and lying in bed with a book, I can only last about two minutes before I fall asleep. So it may take a while.

Pi's interesting defense of zoos was a hoot. He goes into far too much depth for me to do a "fair use" quote. He essentially makes the case that the zoo is for animals like room service and being "free" in the wild is analogous to being homeless.

Its in chapter four.
