About meI'm a teacher of sorts who works about 10-20 hours a week- hence the massive reading + insistence on (free) library use. I am neither Australian, contrary to the Platypus in my name, nor a tapir, contrary to the photo. I do like both. I used to read a lot. And love receiving recognition on the internets, so truly, feel free to comment here or on my 50 Book Challenge. I'm in my second year of law school so, sadly, I read a lot less these days.
About my libraryIn the last two years, I've lived in Bangkok, Thailand, Hollywood, CA, Long Beach, CA, Astoria, NY (that's NYC for you non-locals), and San Francisco, CA. Thus, my library has been whittled down to a more portable size, often against my wishes. Still, tally ho, and keep a stiff upper lip and all that. That's what public libraries are for, and someday my library, like the temple, will be rebuilt.

It should allow you to add links one by one. I didn't see a place to upload an entire list in one shot though. Hope this helps!

I am so pleased to have heard back from you. Prompted by your potential interest I have just started a group called Rushdie Lovers, and an initial thread. I would be thrilled if you and anyone else you know started discussing Rushdie. I have also invited you to be a friend.

Your profile is most exciting; I love travel but have not made it out to the Far East yet. You said on the 1001 Books thread you read most of Rushdie, which again I find exciting, since I have never had a chance to discuss him with anyone. I have read Fury, Moor's Last Sigh and Ground Beneath Her Feet and loved them all. I would love to discuss Rushdie. Maybe I will start a Rushdie admirers' group. What do you think?

Yes! Read Bloodsucking Fiends first. You Suck will make sense without it - but you get a better appreciation for the "main" characters, and I don't think I would have appreciated it as much without the prior knowledge. Have you read A Dirty Job?
Good luck on the law school admissions. The next three years will definitely be filled with books and more reading than you thought you were ever capable of...it just might not be the kind you really enjoy.
