Maya, by Jostein Gaarder

Summary: The book focuses on the adventures of a biologist who recently lost his daughter and split up with his wife. A Spanish couple who often spout random aphorisms also features prominantly. I think the philosophy is more important than the story in this book.

Comments: Wow, I'm not sure what's fact and what's fiction in the universe of the story. And the book prompted some ...interesting reflections on the universe and humankind who-knows-what-all. Still, I enjoyed it when I wasn't going "wait, what" or being unable to think at all. And it definately reminds me of the other Gaarder books I've read.
