satanic verses	2005-01-14 22:44 UTC
Just finished Salman Rushdie's Satanic Verses. I liked it very much - couldn't resist the inevitable discussion about the fatwah with some of my Islamic friends. One opinion is that the Ayatollah provided some of the best marketing that any writer could ask for. Probably true, but a bit more extreme than I would hope for if I ever got off my butt (or on it, as the case may be) and started writing. Anyway, if you can stomach the blasphemy, I recommend this one. It streched my vocabulary and sent me looking for a good palmOS based dictionary. I didn't find one that could keep up with Mr. Rushdie, but I did hook up with iNoah from Ars Lexis which is pretty cool as long as I have an internet connection.
