Have you ever taken against a book, given up on it, but then, at another time in your life, given it another shot and loved it?

Salman Rushdie’s Satanic Verses. I took the view that he had written it deliberately as a provocation. Went back to it a few years later. While not his best novel, it is a nuanced description of the alienation, identity crises and cultural conflict that confronts all immigrants.
