Halfway through

Enjoying the book thoroughly so far, but it's definitely some dense stuff. I really enjoyed the Mahound chapter and am happy the narrative is shifting back toward it. I didn't really care for the Rosa portion, it kind of seemed like a pointless tangent, but who knows maybe it will become more important or poignant down the road. I really enjoy Rushdie's scatterbrained almost overly adjectival style, it makes for a very interesting -- albeit slow -- read.
