Also Rushdie's MIdnight's Children and The Moor's Last Sigh. Arundhati Roy's The God of Small Things. Titles escape me, too, I don't know.clairehttp://kissacloud.lanternalley.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5767816.post-59911096404735231832012-10-07T19:03:47.421-04:002012-10-07T19:03:47.421-04:00I felt the same way!

My friend also pushed it on me ha ha, which I'm glad for, because it was really nice and, like you say, charming. I thought there were a few snags in the writing and the characterization, too, which were the things that made my mind go placing teeny demerits. But overall it was a hoot! (Besides The Eagles, I felt her listening to Fleetwood Mac jarred as well. But then I read this so long ago.)clairehttp://kissacloud.lanternalley.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5767816.post-3662006459100938442012-09-24T13:04:38.777-04:002012-09-24T13:04:38.777-04:00Glad you enjoyed Time Traveller's wife.
