I have stumbled upon this book by pure coincidence no more than two days ago. I found it to be very thought-provoking, philosophical, and terrifying on some parts. Deciding to get a little more bookcross-ish now that the horrible semester's over, I found this book to be the right thing to send. For numerous reasons that I do not feel like sharing right now. Okay, okay: it doesn't have to do with typical Arab narcissistic opressive bastards, nor does it have to do with sexually confused people in love during the Afghan war, nor does it have to do with women 'striving' for liberty and high-heels. Don't get me started, I can bitch about the latest Muslim/Arab books until I drop dead.

This copy is staying with me for the time being, until enough interest is shown. It will then be sent on an international bookring.

I'll post another journal entry with the rules of the bookray, and the names, locations and shipping preferences of the participants as soon as possible.

3- If you really liked the book and would like a copy for your permanent collection, send me a PM and I will immediately send you a copy.

4- Please make a journal entry when recieving, reading, and sending the book, so that we'll be aware of the book's movement.

5- Remember that the book will go directly back to the author. If there's anything you can write on the book for the author, please do. (How arsed is this idea? Hope it isn't ..)

Most of all, enjoy the book!

This book arrived with me by courier a couple of hours ago. Thank you very much! I was almost scared to open it - it's in such immaculate condition! :)

I've been looking forward to receiving this and will start on it straight away...

I found this book quite refreshing and the 'comic-book style' appealed to me. To me this book is about dreams, I certainly felt reading it that I was floating somewhere in somebodies subconscious. My favourite stories were Nomadic Rhymes for it's simple message and The Monster because it unnerved me!

Thank you for sharing :) This is going to my sister next as I couldn't get hold of Lisboa06. I have your address so it's on it's way very soon...

In the post to louisesalter today, sorry for the slight delay - I kept missing the post office!

I really enjoyed this book, the eerie characters the protagonists encounter in the stories kept me gripped to the pages. I particularly liked "little old lady", as I got really scared as I was reading it!
