My book recommendation for this weekend is Salman Rushdie's The Moor's Last Sigh. If you've never read Rushdie you really should give him a try. His use of language is stunning: the little constructions he makes up, the lush, vibrant prose, the oblique references to a dizzying array of cultural, political and historical influences. But beyond the prose his stories can be deeply affecting, and they make insightful points about everything from family to religion to politics. This is a great novel.
