I've read other things by him, but not that one. Midnight's Children was very good, but not an easy read by any means. I kept meaning to read Shame and The Satanic Verses, but could never quite summon up the energy.

I read it in college when it came out. I wouldn’t have normally, but the Ayatollah talked me into it.

If you like weird and don't mind a bit of a challenge, yeah.
