Bill Mayne asks about a copy of Quran (spellings do not matter
since it is not an English word.)

The translation by Maulana Maududi has been found by some
easier to understand. It is avaliable from:
ICNA
166-26 89 Avenue
Jamaica, NY 11432
(718)-657-4090

for $16 + 15% SH.

If you want to find out about Islam I suggest you find it
out from Muslims. (instead of Penguin Classics)

As for suggestions to read, read it from the beggining to
the end. You will not get the picture if you read sections
of it neither will you be able to say that a certain
subject is not in Koran. Also, there are no good sections
to get overview, to get overview you have to read it all.
(Actually there are no "good" sections, Each verse is
Divine and cannot be removed, not read, or altered.)
