Rushdie makes everyone feel that way, and we're all probably right.

I just finished it. It's fun, it keeps the pages turning, and it's easy to see how it could get made into an AWESOME movie. It's kinda predictable, but nothing about it is poorly done. It's not a hack job or anything. If you're into steampunk, it's definitely a tasty morsel.
Zingoleb:
I've been casually reading "A Scanner Darkly" by Phillip K. Dick, which happens to be the first brush I've had with him.
Coward:
You may wish to try The Man in the High Castle by Dick as well. It's an alternate-history novel set a decade or so after the end of the Second World War where the Axis powers won and divided the world between them. Whilst not the sci-fi he is widely known for, I found it a well thought out and executed piece of literature with an interesting take on cultural subservience.
Zingoleb:
If I can I'll keep it in mind. The library has...hundreds, probably thousands of books for sale in the basement, a bagful for a dollar, so I usually just buy whatever I can get there.
