I need to read Asim’s The N Word. I have it on my audiobook queue, but I think hearing the word out loud so much would make me flinch constantly.

You should REEEEEEEEEALLY read Asim’s fiction.

Wow, I had no idea about Pakistan being an acronym! That lack of knowledge makes me feel really stupid. But I have been enlightened on the front–thank you!–I can now move on to being stupid about something else. 🙂

I want to read Midnight Furies and The N Word. And I didn’t know that Pakistan was an acronym, and my grandmother came from there. Not only do I feel embarrassed for not knowing; I feel a need to read up more about all the things I don’t know.

I have Hajari’s book on my list read. But I am nervous about it too because a lot of subject matter about the Partition end up being biased. I have high hopes for this one.

Two paragraphs in and you have blown my mind!! I don’t know if I can finish reading the post. I’ve lost my ability to process new information.

I did not know that about Pakistan, and if I knew that scuba was an acronym, I’d forgotten. The Jane Austen book sounds like an interesting read!

In reply to Jenny @ Reading the End. Now I want to know what detail it was. And a mission is really hard work. The lack of alone time was indeed the hardest thing about it for my very hermity husband. (Sorry to witter on about him; I actually know zillions of people who have served missions everyplace you can think of but I know his best.) Ask me stuff anytime.
