Middlesex — 4 years ago

Wow! I LOVED Middlesex! I read that book in literally one night!! And while I was reading it, I thought it was Jeffrey Eugenides’ autobiography, but at the last five pages I realized: wait, his name’s Jeff, so why is his name here Cal….??? I thought that book was amazing, from the detail to the way everything fit together in strange ways like puzzle pieces…Incredible. I’m going to add this list to my favorites….And start reading!
