The Ground Beneath Her Feet was boring to me and I put it down. maybe there are better ones.

His books always feel to me like they are describing the prologue before the real story begins, but somehow they never get to the real story. I don't know how or why they have this effect on me, because a lot of stuff happens in every book.

Fanatics should not get to be the voice of Islam. Rushdie has always been supported by Muslim writers in favor of freedom of expression.

I don't have any strong opinion on Islam but I think we can all agree that the real culprits in this case were those loving democrats who keep passing gun control laws that prevent honest citizens like Mr Rushdie from packing heat and defending themselves.

All I'm saying is that the stabber would be feeling pretty silly with a few fresh .45 holes in him :clint:

Salmon is great. Even I won't put it on pizza though.

So, was he stabbed because of how he treated his ex-wives?

Rushdie is a great stylist and a decent writer whose best book, Haroun and the Sea of Stories, is when he isn't trying so hard to present Eastern exoticism to the Brits.

He's also a fantastically catty bitch and his memoir of being in hiding, Joseph Anton, just goes hard at anyone who doesn't worship the ground he walks on.

I wish him well.
