Rushdie...massively overrated IMO.

It's been a long time, but I remember enjoying
Foucault's Pendulum very much. Was bored out of my skull, still a few years earlier, by
The Name of the Rose, but that could have been because I was just too young then.
Incidentally, Rushdie hated
Foucault's Pendulum and wrote a scathing review.
Rushdie is a bit hit and miss, IMO. I really liked
Midnight's Children, The Moor's Last Sigh, Shalimar the Clown and
Fury. And his children's book,
Haroun and the Sea of Stories. There was an audiobook of Rushdie himself reading it at the time, which was brilliant. (Only audiobook I've tried that I didn't fall asleep to.)
