Some interesting gets from watching Salman Rushdie talk @Google:

- In about 1968, Afghanistan's king is not rich, therefore his palace is opened as a hotel.. everybody can live there! Cool yea? :)

- I really appreciate Rushdie's opinion that him writing a book doesn't intend to tell a reader to think the way he thinks, but instead offers a lot of scenes to let the reader thinks by himself.

Actually this is what makes my mind keeps quarelling when I read a book.
