Fun fact: I met my partner while reading The Satanic Verses. I looked up from the pages, saw her, and romantic history followed. At one point she asked what I had been reading-talk about a hefty conversation starter. Glad you're covering this book. You've reminded me of elements I've forgotten.

That was great - I read it back when it came out and loved it but maybe one day I should reread it now I have a better understanding of more challenging books! Midnights children is also wonderful but I feel that few of his novels have lived up to these two for me. His nonfiction, on the other hand, is brilliant and I highly recommend Imaginary Homelands, Step Across this Line, Languages of Truth and Joseph Anton.

Thanks for the recommendations!

Sounds so interesting! Love midnight's children and ground beneath her feet. Sad it's still banned here in India. That London pun is truly cringe. I think Rushdie (atleast in the books I have read) has the habit of getting carried away. Sometimes he tries too hard to show how clever he is.
