Samarkand discussion

agree; I love this novel, I have special and fond memories of the first couple of chapters from the first time I heard them; the way they were read to me that first time, the lips of the person reading them, my story with her, and a lot of other factors made this one of the most remembered novels in my mind (and I did read more than 500 in my life time). The whole Omar Khayyam thing was- so much to take in with out having you soul weep.
