>Read
'Talk to the Snail' - Stephen Clarke. A British expat's take on how to understand the French and their customs. Quite funny. I'd like to read a French person's take on the British. Does anyone have any recommendations?

>Reading
'The Satanic Verses' by Salman Rushdie. Finally got round to reading this. Really enjoying it. Only about a third of the way through and can't quite believe that it caused such controversy. I'm going to read more about the controversy after I've read the book so that I don't spoil anything.

>Going to Read
Perhaps 'The Flight of the Intellectuals' by Paul Berman which deals with the Rushdie affair and the rise of Islamism in general.

Rushdie would be nobody without the fatwa.
