I finally finished my audiobook of Life of Pi by Yann Martel. (I started it back in March) I feel a little triumphant, but mostly relieved. Not having undertaken an epic train voyage this week my progress on Ladies of the Grand Tour has slowed down considerably, but it has continued if only by a chapter or two. I'm hoping to make a decent dent in it tonight though...

Well done for finishing up Life of Pi - was it worth the tremendous effort? Hope you enjoy Ladies of the Grand Tour. Good luck for the week ahead.

Thanks! :) On the whole I would say no, it rallied a bit at the end but there's a whole chunk in the middle (two CDs worth on the audio book!) which could have easily have been trimmed from the book without the story losing anything.

I think out of a sense of duty, I'll give it one more try before I give up for good and get rid of it!
