OK, so I finished the book last week, and I’m so annoyed at having wasted an hour of my life that it almost hurts. I wonder if I can sue Hamid for negligent infliction of emotional distress.

Funnily enough, I kind of want to whack both of them senseless with a teaspoon. Maybe even a soup-ladle. The urge sometimes ebbs, but interviews like that escalate it again.

Heard Hamid at his launch last night in DC – at Prose and Politics. Speaks very well, answers impressively. House full – not an empty chair. Bought the authgraphed book – far too expensive at $22, but what the heck. Dalrymple will have to wait till next month…

That was frustrating. Solomon takes a rather antagonistic tone, as if she wants to debate Hamid on something, but in the end she didn’t seem to have any point except for a generalized suspicion of his motives.

But I LOVED his responses! If I can pull off that kind of coolness in my next pointless argument, I will be happy.

I just read the excerpt of the book and now this interview but I am glad he is saying his(and a lot of other people’s) mind.

I hope there is a special CM review of The Reluctant Fundamentalist? If a book is to be judged by its cover, then…

Wallop, is the way to do it. And if you need any help, just make her stand underneath my window. Now I realize why destiny has put Gray’s Anatomy in my possession.
