Midnight's Children

For the past couple of months, the Book Club has been reading Midnight's Children by Salman Rushdie.



I finished reading it Monday-- a day before our final discussion of the book. It would have been earlier, but I left it at work before I left for the New Year's holiday. I thought the book was really good in the beginning and the middle, but the end of the book was lacking.

Tuesday night, we met up at the India House on I-55. We socialized, talked about the book, and ate. Being a newbie to Indian cuisine (the last time I had had Indian food was almost eight years ago-- also at India House), I was wondering what was good and what wasn't.

My friends from college football chatrooms and sites who read my blog might be frightened (or worse for me-- have their suspicions confirmed) because I ordered the Mughlai Ghost. I didn't want anything too spicy.

DT has chosen the next book. It is The Known World by Edward P. Jones. It won a Pulitzer and isn't a really long book. We've got the book here at the library and I've checked it out. I might be reading it while flying to and from San Antonio for ALA Midwinter.
