No.  I've never read anything by Rushdie.  Honestly I have rather a prejudice against that type of writer.

I thought you'd like him for slandering religion.

I love the religion-slandering, I'm just somewhat unenthused about third-world literature.  My favorite authors are mostly public-schooled Englishmen.. and a few Americans of similar class.

Rushdie was educated at a private school of some kind in Bombay/Mumbai, at a public school in England (Rugby IIRC) and then at Cambridge. I think you'd like him.

Perhaps so now that you fill in the blanks!  I tend to like a writer that was reared in Latin and peer-buggery.
