Beautiful line up Ila. You were convincing in forcing me to pickup anything written by Rushdie. I gave up on his writing after going through Midnight Children.

I myself haven’t read much of Rushdie and Midnight’s Children was also a long time ago. I was curious about what he had to say about his attack and the book surely didn’t disappoint. In fact now I am looking forward to reading The Satanic Verses and other books.
