Finished it on the subway today. It’s so satisfying to finish a novel these days becuase I never do.

Salman Rushdie’s first novel, it has a kind of naive beauty to it. Not as sophisticated as his later more political or magical realist works, this fantasy/sci fi book is just good fun, and pretty damn clever. If you’re only going to read one of his books I wouldn’t pick this one, but it’s still great, was an easy page-turner that still made you twist your brain around from time to time, just in an effortless kind of way.
