Unbelievable...

The reason I managed to lock myself out of my own apartment was a film I watched earlier today. You may have heard of it: 'The Stoning of Soraya M.' It brought me in such a rage, hatred, sorrow, loathing, pity, will to kill that I actually forgot my keys. Considering leaving my keys in is a continuing phobia of sorts, it takes much for me to ignore that neurosis.

Anyway, back to the title. What I find unbelievable is what I just encountered. The movie is based on a book of the same name and I was going to get it. Emphasis on the word "was", since I can't find it anywhere. Absolutely nowhere I know to look. Not even AdLibris. That place is the one that has never failed me. It seemed that it made no difference whether it was a bestseller or some obscure and marginal book, it was there.

Until now, of course. Freidoune Sahebjam's book which only has its Danish translation listed. I tried BookPlus, Akateeminen and Suomalainen, I tried Huuto, BookMooch, all I could think of. The only place I found it was Amazon UK. But as I don't do credit cards... yeah, well, unless my sister has one and she orders it for me, I need to find some other place. Any suggestions? Is there some place I've missed?

As for the movie, watch it. That's all I'm capable of phrasing logically at the moment about it. Just watch it. Don't argue with me, watch it. Everyone. No excuses not to, for anyone.
