My reading habits over the last couple of decades have included practically no fiction other than an occasional short story. But the reviews of the book were so provocative that I ordered the book when it was first published. Life of Pi turned out to be somewhat densely woven together but I totally enjoyed it. It helps to have at least a little exposure to the culture and history of South Asia, especially India.
There is no way a movie can capture the nuances of the book, but I aim to see this movie the moment it comes out. According to Wikipedia it is "adventure" and will be 3-D. Those who have not read the book will be in for a splendid experience if they go now to read it ahead of time.

John,
I thoroughly enjoyed the book but also recognize the difficulty of catching its magic in a film.
Fingers crossed.
Michael
