It is horrible reading. The characters are one sided, and the plot is simple. Its all about hating women and outsiders.

You can get bibles for free too. Bad fiction is freely accessible.

I've one I picked up at the local mosque. I imagine most are happy to give such items away, as someone else noted earlier. Attending an Islam-oriented event like a guest lecture is also a possibility, and you might learn something while you're there. You can probably get them for free on Amazon, but the shipping and handling would be worth more than the book.

This got me to wondering, you know how in the US the Gideons make sure that every hotel room has a Bible in it? Do hotels in Muslim majority countries stick Qurans in their hotel rooms. :p

I just bet the three of us have passed each other on the street loads of times.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
