    It's not a novel. It's a collection of wacky definitions. Worth a read.

    Am borrowing The Simoqin Prophecies from a friend. Is it worth a buy or is borrowing better?

    Quite a haul I say! :)

    BTW. Check out Strand Book Stall's online store at
    http://www.strandbookstall.com/store/

    They have some meaty discounts but the range is not huge but quite decent. Am a regular at their annual sale.

    I read it first, before buying it. Don't know if you'll feel the same, though.

    Yeah, there is a Strand at Bangalore too, with meaty discounts.

    Currently, Simoqin is out of stock in Strand. They sell it at 180-something and that's why I haven't yet bought the darn book.

    Chuck Palahnuik

    Isn't he the guy who wrote The fight club? His first book, right?

    Yes, Fight Club was his first. I was looking for that, but it wasn't available.

    I think I got his spelling wrong up there - it should be Palahniuk.
