The Satanic Verses by Salman Rushdie
3.0

Added this to my list to understand how Rushdie offended the Shah and was on a hit list. The best way I can think to describe this book is a kaleidescope of stories involving religion, culture, love and self-knowledge. Everything merged and diverged and some characters crossed stories. The language contributed to this, having things phonetically spelled with various accents. I'm glad I read it for the singular experience it provided, but don't think I can say I enjoyed it.
