Pathans are supposed to be good-lookers, generally, but unfortunately, most of them come from areas where illiteracy is high, hence, they don't get noticed as much!<BR/><BR/>I remember back in school, a friend used to smile and say, "I lovvvve educated pathans!" :-)Saadiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02404658782028909950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12979912.post-87871643550647584982008-12-19T16:03:00.000-05:002008-12-19T16:03:00.000-05:00Saadia,That's a wholesome compliment to the Afghan...Saadia,<BR/>That's a wholesome compliment to the Afghan male even if it were only to justify Marlowe's infatuation for Amir. <BR/>You're right, the novel is worth recommending in that it proved quite the page turner.Id it ishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10933156607975500727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12979912.post-72627834945774929532008-12-19T16:01:00.000-05:002008-12-19T16:01:00.000-05:00Georg,"a anthropological zoo that needs fencing." ...Georg,<BR/>"a anthropological zoo that needs fencing." those are some strong words there Georg. As for fencing, I think that' s reprehensible thing to do even if it's to an animal. You take away it's freedom, and that certainly cannot be condoned. No matter how bad things are in a place nothing would justify the taking over of a nation by another.Id it ishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10933156607975500727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12979912.post-10308910898052406102008-12-19T03:14:00.000-05:002008-12-19T03:14:00.000-05:00Id, I'm sorry for the delayed response.Of course y...Id, I'm sorry for the delayed response.<BR/><BR/>Of course you should recommend this book to people. I myself haven't had the occasion to read it, but I would definitely try to indulge. And why not? Sanity is relative and subjective. We may not understand Marlowe's confusions, dilemmas and justifications, but then, that should make it all fun - frustratingly so!
