Martha - I avoided Rushdie simply because he was so famous..I hate read what everyone in the world is reading
.
When I did finally begin to read him I fell in love. I expected him to be dry, for some reason, but he is fanciful, may in some ways belong to the genre of magical realism.
If you're still avoiding him, put him on your pending list. He's well worth the effort.
I may have another author for you soon.
