Inextricably linked with the fatwa called against its author in the wake of the novel’s publication, The Satanic Verses is, beyond that, a rich showcase for Salman Rushdie’s comic sensibilities, cultural observations, and unparalleled mastery of language. The book begins with two Indians plummeting from the sky after the explosion of their airliner, and proceeds through a series of metamorphoses, dreams and revelations.

Satanic Verses: A story to die for
Revisado: 10-25-22
After the horrific event that happened to this brilliant author, and having heard about his life, his suffering I had to read this book. Usually I read classics like Dostoyevsky, Hugo Tolstoy, but was interested in listening to a contemporary novel. Having been to Mumbai as it is now called again and London hearing this amazingly narrated story, blew my mind. He is so imaginative yet with his pulse on reality that I am speechless. Needless to say, I highly recommend this book.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 125
No metropolis has been more loved or more hated. To its official boosters, "Los Angeles brings it all together". To detractors, LA is a sunlit mortuary where "you can rot without feeling it". To Mike Davis, the author of this fiercely elegant and wide-ranging work of social history, Los Angeles is both utopia and dystopia, a place where the last Joshua trees are being plowed under to make room for model communities in the desert, where the rich have hired their own police to fend off street gangs, as well as armed Beirut militias.

Great Insights to Where BLM Uprisings Come From Institutional Rascism
Revisado: 09-17-20
This book really gives see you insights into how Los Angeles was created including various ways over 150 years. I have no idea about the institutionalized racism that takes place here. It is truly a real estate Nirvana for the people who have made all this money all these years and these sorts of things seem to continue. If you want to learn about Los Angeles, this is a must read book. It was written in 1990 and So many of the things that happened before then repeats itself in the following 30 years. Learn your history and see why the present day is the way it is.

Does nature really make us feel better? The 3-Day Effect takes a look at the science behind why being in the wild can make us happier, healthier, and more creative. Whether it’s rafting down Utah’s Green River, hiking in Utah’s wilderness, or walking through Rock Creek Park in Washington, DC, scientists are finding that the more exposure humans have to nature, the more we can benefit from reduced anxiety, enhanced creativity, and overall well-being.

Interesting Book About Connecting With Nature
Revisado: 08-30-19
This book is an inspiring story about a woman who tries to weave her personal difficulties with that of others and finding the science to back up claims of natures healing properties. The diversity of types of people she brings out into the nature is impressive.
