Updike is one of my favorite authors and it certainly does have a certain ring of Harry Angstrom. It's tough to find Updike quotes that aren't easily found on Google. So ... it's not Updike either.</p> Interesting Steve. Updike is one of my favorite authors and it certainly does have a certain ring of Harry Angstrom.

Main character is the son of a zookeeper. Don't have a copy of Pi but took a shot. Actually my 1st impression on reading the quote was Updike. One of the "Rabbit" books most likely. Drat!

Too hard? Maybe. I went through the novel, dog-eared where I'd found interesting quotes, to see if I could add a second one as a hint. Unfortunately each one was instantly available on Google. So instead I'll tell you that one of the characters is a Zookeeper. Does that help? Don't be shy, comment today and take your guess at the inaugural Used Books Blog Quotation Contest.
