I really wish I had read this book in school, or at least that I had an annotated edition. I feel like I was definitely missing out on some shit. But I'm glad I read it; Rushdie's prose is wonderful and I'm still thinking about the book after finishing it. Plus any book that earns the author a death sentence deserves to be read by me. I'd definitely like to revisit it again armed with some supplemental material.
