We are down to the last week of classes. It doesn’t feel like December — it’s cold and gray and rainy. But little snow. As always, it’s crunch time, with papers everywhere I look. Obviously, I’m not going to get many new projects done this month, but I am looking forward to the time after the holidays when everything slows down just a bit.
In the last few days, I did, however, make time to re-read Life of Pi by Yann Martel and am really curious about the movie. I read Martel’s novel many years ago, and when I saw the previews, I thought, Uh oh…This is just not going to work. I am very skeptical. Even Director Ang Lee has been quoted about the movie: “When I first read Life of Pi…I remember thinking that nobody in his right mind would make this into a movie.” Still, the reviews have been solid, so I may have to take a break from the end of the semester grading to catch this movie. (Although, if Anthony has his way, we will be going to see The Hobbit instead.)
