God Bless The Internets #19

I'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.

Is it one of those books that are torture to get through?

After Infinite Jest, nothing is torture to get through.

Seriously though, it's slightly incoherent but not bad.
