One of my most cherished reads and certainly on top of my re read list... The book which made me a fan of Salman Rushdie :)

I couldn't lay my hands on Satanic Verses :(
I have the ebook of Satanic Verses... someone sent it to me long ago.. in the hope that I will read it and like Rushdie :) :) Managed to get through half the book - liked it but other books took predominance and it is still in my pending list :) :)
Yup i did...thats why the question.... :)"Nakkoo" funny name used in the starting...!!
It seems promising like the reviews say :) :P
Oh.. Will start soon:-):-)

We'll add these to the poll. The book that wins most votes gets picked for the June read, and the runner-up can probably be adopted for a side-read or a buddy read.
