Ishmael is good, My Ishmael is great.

After page 100, the Life of Pi is unputdownable. Before page 100, its hard work, IMO.

How Would You Move Mount Fuji? by William Poundstone.

It's about the craze for puzzle interviews, with a special emphasis on Microsoft. Provides background history of the phenomenon, real-life examples, and in-depth answers for most of them, as well as advice to interviewers and interviewees both. It's a great read, I'm getting through it really ...[text shortened]... t's only 250 pages long, perfect for a book to get through in a week or so of light reading.
Poundstone seems to be an unusual name. Wonder if he is
related to the american comedian, Paula Poundstone? I really like
her stuff.

His one and only novel. The atmosphere is somewhat like his first few albums, especially Your Funeral, My Trial.

He's got a film coming out this year, hooray...
