my symptoms tonight include dizziness, shortness of breath, giddiness, and feeling like a million dollaras.

diagnosis: head-over-heels. we just had a quiet evening — watched jurassic park, ate dinner, talked — but it was one of the best I’ve had in months. in fact it was practically perfect. this is what I’ve been waiting for. this is why I stuck around. because I am completely in love with this boy, and he’s my best friend in the whole world.

ahhh it’s good to be his again.

The Satanic Verses

Posted: May 10, 2006 | Author: | Filed under: Book of Sand | Leave a comment

by Salman Rushdie

My sister let me borrow this book for the long commute to and from Pleasanton, since I had to go down there for work. I have to say…it was one of the weirdest books I’ve ever read. Not in a surreal way, just in a weird way. A very weird way. Rushdie is a capable author, but first there was the unnecessary cursing and imagery, and then the plot was so strange on top of that…I just came out of it feeling odd. Displaced, but not really in a good way.
 
I did read a clip from one of Rushdie’s other books, and it sounded promising. Maybe because it was more of a children’s book. I don’t recommend The Satanic Verses unless you’re going to borrow it from someone who has already bowdlerized their copy.
