Has anyone actually finished The Satanic Verses? I remember being so excited about buying a copy (it was very hard to find at the time because of the fatwa on Rushdie), but when I finally got one, I became less interested in reading it. I guess it was the hype and the feeling of owning a "banned" book. In truth, I liked Rushdie's other earlier stuff, especially Midnight's Children. :-)
