Classics Without All the Class discussion

This is an amazing read. It's an interview with Yann Martel that goes into great depth about his thoughts and intentions for the book.

I love how he says that the entire book came to him in 20 minutes including nearly every part of Pi's life, survival, and aftermath, but then the book took 4 years to research and write.

I also love the story behind why Richard Parker is named Richard Parker.

I would strongly suggest finishing the book before reading it. Sort-of-spoilers a plenty.

I did read about Richard Parker. I googles Richard Parker, when I first heard the name, and got this wikipedia article on it http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_... very interesting!

Great interview with Yann Martel! I loved the book. And all the insights he gives in this interview are really interesting. Thank you!
