Live book discussion on Sonoran Living
Friday, April
30
"Page Turners" The Sonoran Living Live Book Club, in partnership with Barnes & Noble, has selected Life of Pi by Yann Martel. The book weaves stories of Indian culture, perceptions of religion and evil, and a survival tale worthy of Robinson Crusoe into a sturdy, thoughtful mix told largely through the eyes of a character named Piscine Molitor Patel, better known as Pi. "Life of Pi" has struck a nerve in the United States and overseas. The book has been published in 41 countries and received Great Britain's prestigious Booker Prize. To join in on our live discussion on April 30th, give us a call at 602-685-3008 or e-mail us! http://www.sonoranliving.com/index.asp.
