Jeffrey Eugenides – Middlesex
July 27, 2010
Front cover of the Jeffrey Eugenides' novel Middlesex
A long hiatus from updating in this blog but I have not stopped reading.
The hiatus I’ll attribute to, in part, marriage. Everything can be blamed on marriage 
In my case marriage paused the blog updates but not the reading. Fortunately my wife is an avid reader and we have adopted the healthy ritual of regularly reading a book out loud to each other.
We are now reading Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides. I’ll cut to the chase and recommend you go out and buy it. Buy it second hand if you’re low on cash like we all are and then set up a group where you can all read it out loud to each other.
I find this book to be very descriptive but not tedious. It is well written, eloquent, but somehow doesn’t lose the reader. Intricate yet, somehow, the author always leaves a trail of breadcrumbs to navigate out of the web of his imagination.
Go read it.
