Life of Pi

This book is rocking. Really entertaining. I haven’t gotten very far yet, but there was one passage I wanted to share.

Background: a teenage boy in India discovers Christianity, and adopts it. He then discovers Islam, and adopts it too. The imam, priest, and pandit find out about the boy’s religious whoring and confront the parents. His older brother finds out too, and says to his younger brother:

“So, Swami Jesus, will you go on the hajj this year . . . Or does Mecca beckon . . . Or will it be to Rome for your coronation as the next Pope Pius. Have you found time to get your pecker cut off and become a Jew? At the rate you're going, if you go to temple on Thursday, mosque on Friday, synagogue on Saturday and church on Sunday, you only need to convert to three more religions to be on holiday for the rest of your life.”

In other news, school has started. I only have books for one class. I might drop one in lieu of getting into something less annoying (read: one that requires less work). The roads are supposed to ice tonight, and if they do, class will be canceled. Yipee! More reason to stay at home and veg. I have to do laundry anyway.
