I love board-games, but when there's nobody to play with, a decent book will do (recently I finished The Road , The Satanic Verses and working on Invisible Man ).

Salman Rushdie's Satanic Verses - My first Rushdie was Midnight's Children, I thought Satanic Verses would have as much Indian politics in Midnight's Children, but oh well, and Furies - didn't know the Greeks had 3 Goddesses for furies.

Scott Fitzgerald (heartbreaking, but really good), "The Satanic Verses" and "Shame" by Salman Rushdie (both were amazing although I needed to talk through the Satanic Verses with someone else), and "The Moon is Down" (a Steinbeck novella).

My favorites include The Satanic Verses , Cryptonomicon , Gilgamesh and Blood Meridian .

The Sexual Intellectual

Comment by arceptarcane

The people around here bring a bible and ask if they can read you verses. I use to keep an old copy of a satanic bible (no i dont beleive in it) and would say, sure as long you let me read a verse of mine to you.

Proof for those who seek God.

Comment by Vintersorg

I'm also still wondering which the "satanic verses" are (I think it must be "there's no god but Allah and Mohammed is his prophet") and how they fit in with the 19.

Which is more offensive: book burning or flag burning?

Comment by unputdownable

I find it similarly ironic that so many copies of The Satanic Verses where bought for the bonfires -- without so much a spine being cracked to discover the blasphemies within.

Kind of like Khomeini putting a price on Rushdie's head for The Satanic Verses.

Many of you may not remember parents trying to ban heavy metal records because a couple of people thought there were satanic verses when you played the records backwards.
