Ugh, this reminded me of when I tried to read that book by Rushdie before I became a Muslim. It was so horrible I don't know where to start. I mean, really, just an atrocious book (I ended up just throwing it away it was that bad)...but then again, everything that guy has written since Midnight's Children--which I really liked--has been horrible. He obviously just gave up.

I had managed to read Mid Night's Children in my third attempt. Somebody had said that there is a Page 15 group in UK-the group who has not been able to go beyond page 15 of Rushdie's books. The semi-modern technology called magic realism is better at other places, for example, I have much better memories of G.Garcia Marquez's Love in Time of Cholera. Life is full of sorrows but it also full of joys. People like Rushdie talk about sorrow and cut our joys and hope. The result is obvious for us all to see-the growing amount of hopelessness in those parts of the world where people like Rushdie are revered. Wallahualam.
