July Book Club: A Winner Has Been Named

After a nail-bitingly exciting vote, a winner has been named for the first book of book club.
The Life of Pi, by Yann Martel.

The Life of Pi accepted the nomination graciously:

"I accept your nomination with a deep sense of humility. I accept, too, the responsibility that goes with it, and I seek your continued help and your continued guidance. My fellow Vikings, our cause is too great for any book to feel worthy of it. Our task would be too great for any book, did he not have with him the heart and the hands of the great Vikings of Crooked Lane, and I promise you tonight that every fiber of my being is consecrated to our cause; that nothing shall be lacking from the struggle that can be brought to it by enthusiasm, by devotion, and plain hard work. In this world no person, no book can guarantee anything, but what we can do and what we shall do is to deserve victory, and victory will be ours."

In order to speak, it opened its pages sideways so it looked like a mouth.

Everyone must now start reading this book immediately.
