Life of Pi
Why do people move? What makes them uproot and leave everything they've known for a great unknown beyond the horizon? Why climb this Mount Everest of formalities that makes you feel like a beggar? Why enter this jungle of foreignness where everything is new, strange, and difficult?...
I wish he hadn't fretted so much. It's hard on a son to see his father sick with worry.
...
People move because of the wear and tear of anxiety. Because of the gnawing feeling that no matter how hard they work their efforts will yield nothing, that what they build up in one year will be torn down in one day by others. Because of the impression that the future is blocked up, that they might do all right but not their children. Because of the feeling that nothing will change, that happiness and prosperity are possible only somewhere else.
...
Those are all part of a very good book called Life of Pi. It seems to go with what I've been feeling.

Life of Pi is an excellent book, I read it too back when I was in high school(man I love saying that phrase) It is still one of my all time favorites, right up there with Hithchkiers Guide series, although an entirely differen't genre of fiction. Enjoy the rest of the book.
