"Life of Pi" by Yann Martel
About a boy named Piscine Patel, who lives with his family in a zoo in Pondicherry India. His family decides that they do not like the political climate (1970's) so they are relocating to Canada. Alas, he finds himself shipwrecked at sea, and the sole human survivor. This book takes him on an incredible journey of fighting for survival against the elements and a tiger that is in his lifeboat. His journey last 200+ days! The book is one that you cannot put down, and the end is so unexpected and thought provoking. Some parts are not for the squimish.
