"As I wander far from view/ Read, and bring me home to you." - Salman Rushdie

Rushdie was at Elliott Bay today reading from The Enchantress of Florence, and he looked in person just like he does in pictures or on tv - kind of like a grandpa. He took his glasses off to read, and then he started with a passage about war, and continued with one on love. I was worried he was going to kill off the warrior I was in love with, but he didn't. At least not in that scene. Hopefully he'll stay alive. I will read it soon and then know...

it was packed, but it would have been more packed if it was at night - we sat kinda on the fringe of it, but we could still hear him.
