It's interesting how where and when you read certain books remains etched in our memories, often more than specifics about the book.

I live in southeast Washington!<br /><br />I've never read any of the Rushdie works. (They are on my reading list, but what isn't?) It will be interesting to read it someday, especially based on your review :)Hannah Bartahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16113296657540921039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1483877654474162845.post-79064275373406481512013-09-21T00:39:33.169+10:002013-09-21T00:39:33.169+10:00I've never read any Rushdie (except for Haroun...I've never read any Rushdie (except for Haroun & the Sea of Stories), and I know I should! I have a friend who's been pushing me to read Midnight's Children for years. I think I've always felt a bit intimidated, but maybe I'll finally give it a try. :)<br /><br />LisaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1483877654474162845.post-2947391393003829142013-09-21T00:18:23.907+10:002013-09-21T00:18:23.907+10:00(boo, Blogger ate my comment xP)
I read Midnight&...(boo, Blogger ate my comment xP)<br /><br />I read <i>Midnight's Children</i> a few years ago when I first heard that it was going to be adapted into a movie (which I still haven't watched yet, lol). I agree, Rushdie's writing is just amazing in this novel, so many wonderful quotes throughout. And the magical realism element in the story really added to the story. Great choice!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.caffeinatedlife.net/blog/2013/09/20/meme-friday-book-memes-14/" rel="nofollow">My Friday Book Memes</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
