oh Rushdie

I'm sorry I missed the meeting, I was in Maine....But then again, I only got one chapter into this book before I had to gag and then put it down. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I hope the meeting went well.

I'd love to read Kafka on the shore, I hear it's supposed to be good...but then I'd heard the same of the former.

Here's a link to the Powell's page for it, which has a bunch of reviews and customer comments. One line that I find both daunting (for myself as a reader not always into the metaphysical and esoteric) and exciting came from a 5 star review:

"I don't give 5/5 ratings lightly, but I can't in good conscience give this book anything less. If you have a thing for the metaphysical and esoteric, or simply love a good story, read this book. If you don't like those things, read it anyway. You might be surprised."
