| Midnight children is such a boring book that I could not read more than few pages. |

 Currently trying for the 3rd time to read A Suitable Boy, Vikram Seth. Now this one I love but I keep putting it down and 4 months goes buy and I have to start over. Keep reading smaller books inbetween! | |

 | I loved Midnight's Children! I had to work at it, though; it is a very demanding book (demanding of the reader). It is so clever, not the least in the way that he sets up the narrator to be so unreliable and to make such glaring errors so that the reader will identify the history as a very personal interpretation of the narrator. I found it rather interesting that his eventual mate in Midnight's Children was named... Padma! I guess sometimes life imitates art  (At the same time, his novel "Fury" also seem filled with prescient autobiographical detail.) Of course, having a weakness for brainy older men myself I support this undertaking wholeheartedly.

| What does it matter? What does it matter how long they stick together? He has a wonderful time with her (who wouldn't?) and maybe she ends up a little bit smarter and wiser....(I don't think they have sex all the time, so they will spend some time analyzing and discussing things).....and someday Padma Lakshmi will start writing her own novel...mark my words!! |

| They Are Getting Divorced!! OK folks. No one was right on the poll. It lasted about 3 years, I think.  I suspect they've been apart a long time though. Padma seems to have a great career going on the excellent reality show "Top Chef" here in the US.Read all about it. For a break from real news  http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/south_asia/6262442.stm Thought those of you who participated in this poll might be interested in the final outcome. My question. What is Sir Salman's attraction? He gives me the creeps. And I don't like his writing, though I'm in a minority on that one.  |
