Still working on Chapter 5, "A City Visible but Unseen." This is the first portion I have found to be slowly paced. Hopefully 305 to 356 will move a little faster than pages 243 to 305 did.

Starting "A City Seen and Unseen" by the pool! This is nice an relaxing!

Finished Chapter 3 "Ellowen Deeowen" and Chapter 4 "Ayesha." I'm truly loving this book. I may even, dare I say it, like it better than Midnight's Children!

Starting part 4 of Chapter Three, "Ellowen Deeowen." I'm on page 172 and really loving this book!

Saladin renounces India as his mom, and he sprouts goat-like horns from his temples (like images of devils and demons). Do I sense Nationalism? I think I do!

Very funny book, read!!!

Strange yet interesting. Didn't like the beginning....

Pretty remarkable so far. Yet to work out why it caused such a fuss though..

I read this @ my hammock on the living room with a cold wind in my face.
It´s a nice one.

Este libro es la cosa más extraña que leí esta semana. Me falta un poco para acabar de leerlo. Pero lo recomiendo sin saber el final.
