Middle sex - Great Read

I finished Middlesex yesterday. It was a great book. One of those ones that you wish was twice as long so you could still be reading it. I shall have to pick up The Virgin Suicides to see if the author Eugenides is consistent.

I started What the Body Remembers today. It is by Shauna Singh Baldwin, who taught the course I took at Women's Words this past June.

Fast Work --> Fast words

I finished up No Country for Old Men (Cormac McCarthy). It was a quick read. Some interesting commentary on the changing world. Very violent, but at the same time there was a lot of reflection. I would recommend it for a read.

I am now reading Middlesex (Eugenides). I think it is the current Oprah book, but it is also a Pulitzer Prize Winner. Besides I really like Oprah and think she would have good taste in books.
