God Bless The Internets #19
Nov. 8th, 2007 08:38 pmI've had this copy of The Satanic Verses for almost 20 years now, having bought it when the fatwa was all over the news. I've tried to read it a few times, never making it more than ~50 pages in. This month it was the SA Forums book club selection, and I'm proud to say I'm now ~320 pages in. But, oh woe of woes! there's a page missing! It's torn out, with about an inch left. Grr, I says. I'll have to go to the library to read that page I says. But no! I search the internets and find a torrent for a pdf of the thing, download it, find the missing section, copy it into metapad and print it out. Voila.
