This year I’ve actually settled into a slightly better reading schedule. My reading slowed to a sloth’s pace after my undergrad economics coursework. I grabbed a speed reading book at the beginning of the year it actually helped. It also helps that I’ve rediscovered fiction.

In any event, Midnight’s Children took me some time to get through, but I loved it. Very interesting to read about the cultural interplay in India, and in particular the role of muslim culture prior to our recent ‘terror era’ focus. Rushdie is a wonderful story teller, weaving together multiple generations, individual life sagas, symbolism and national/cultural struggles, with elegance and logic. Highly recommended, tho it does require a bit of ‘work.’
