Life of Pi
A fascinating and very readable story (I've read a couple recently) which I finished in just over a day. Admittedly it was during a heatwave so I wasn't doing much else except for lazing in the garden in a hammock, but even so it's not often I read a book continuously. I've not read this classic novel before and bought it for my dad whilst browsing in Oxfam Bookshop. He liked it but said it has a strange beginning and you're not sure where it's going. That is an understatement and the whole story is pretty strange and increasingly unbelievable. Or is it? And what makes you believe a story? I guess that's the point of the book, and the first part primes you for just that. If all that is a little obtuse go read the book as any further explanation is a spoiler.
