Life of Pi is killing me! 1/3 of the way and mostly a rambling mess. Where is the good story everyone swears on? #SL24 #SummerLovin13

Who wouldn't love Audrey Niffenegger? Her name is awesome enough that you have to love her just for that. I don't have just one favorite author, but I absolutely adore her. The Time Traveler's Wife is a book that I have read more than once and one that I will read over and over again. It's just a perfect (though also perfectly tragic) love story.

Blue 5 : Take a picture of the book you're reading right now and share it. Life of Pi (Tweeted)

Moving right along. On to book number 3! @_RaTCentral_ #SummerLovin13 pic.twitter.com/WVR9vzwkyL

And there you have it! A total blackout! I'm still working my way through Life of Pi. It's getting better, but I'm still scratching my head over the five-star reviews. We'll see where I end up. Back to reading! I need to finish this puppy in the next 12 hours!
