... include From A to X by John Berger (which just made the Booker longlist), Water for Elephants, The Glass Castle, and Middlesex. There's lots of fantasy and a fair bit of nonfiction as well. Stop by and check it out!

Middlesex by Eugenides. Hated it! I tried twice to finish it, but couldn't, though everyone at work read it and raved about it. I also hated Joyce's Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man. I had to read it for a college lit class and had only 5 pages to go to finish, and just thought, "Why ...

318> I tried listening to Middlesex on audio. Not any better in that format, I'm afraid.

I really, really tried to like Middlesex...I read and read, hoping that soon it would get better. It didn't. I hated it. Finally put it down and even though I felt guilty for about an hour, I was so glad to be done with it so that I could choose something that I actually found interesting. My ...

1. I Am The Messenger by Markus Zusak 2. Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides 3. Life of Pi by Yann Martel

wester in BookMooching : book exchange (Heinä 29, 2008, 9:14am)

If you join Bookmooch, it should be pretty easy to give away Middlesex, it is on quite a few wishlists. When you give it away through BM, you get a point which you can exchange for any book other BookMoochers have in their inventory. The Year of the Fog is quite highly wishlisted as well so it's ...

... I liked the part about the parents fleeing Smyrna. That was interesting, but the rest was not for me. I kept thinking Eugenides was trying too hard.

pm11, I had almost forgotten about Eugenides' Middlesex. Yes, he did present a very strong narrative on the massacre. Thanks for reminding me.

... getting bleaker right up until the whole thing is wrapped up with a too-neat, too-happy ending that's hard to believe Middlesex - just couldn't get into this one from the start; if it has much of a plot, it must get going quite a ways in The Thirteenth Tale - the narrator of the story (a ...

... as a basis for his stories and really brings them to life. Blanche and Marie is on the new 1001 list. I'll be adding Middlesex to my monstrous tbr pile soon;) It sounds wonderful.

... story that works its magic and draws you in despite a plot that's almost entirely revealed up-front. Then there's Middlesex, which is just a monstrously impressive work. A huge epic, addressing war, love, growing up, sexual orientation, incest, genetics, hermaphoditism, and everything ...

... like it. There are two that I abandoned this year, however. Eragon, which just seemed to drag on and on, and Middlesex, which I just couldn't seem to care enough about. I tried to get into each of them a few times, but just couldn't. I'm now trying to find new homes for them.

Pulitzer Winners 1. Middlesex 2. The Shipping News 3. A Confederacy of Dunces 4. Grapes of Wrath 5. Age of Innocence 6. The Hours 7. Beloved 8. American Pastoral

... Corrections I'm looking forward to this book. I love the disfunctional mid-west family epic, and it has been compared to Middlesex which is another favorite.

24) Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides This book was great. It started out a little slow with all of the Greek history, but I'm Greek so it kept me interested enough. After about 100-150 pages I found myself completely engrossed in the story. I've been really busy lately and not had much time ...

... I did end up loving that book, though. Definitely in my top five for this year, probably even in the top three. Oh, Middlesex. It's so hard to find the right words to say about it. I was very interested by it, but the ending...it just didn't quite seem to come full circle for me. In the ...

33. Middlesex - Jeffrey Eugenides

nancyewhite in 888 Challenge : Nancy's 888 (Heinä 2, 2008, 11:32am)

I hate it when I accidentally post something twice...

... July 29th Honorable mentions: Alive in Necropolis, The Lace Reader, Regina's Closet, The Handmaid's Tale, Middlesex, Pride and Prejudice, Year of Wonders, and Historical Genesis. I think it is interesting that 4/5 of my top books are ARCs...there is some good reading ...

I'm currently about 1/3 of the way through Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides. It started out very slow, but I'm now starting to get more invested in the story. I haven't had much time for reading lately. Hopefully I'll be able to sit down with this for a longer period of time soon.

I had a great quarter. Sort of in order: Fiction: Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides The Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton The 19th Wife by David Ebershoff Hotel du Lac by Anita Brookner Non-Fiction: The Omnivore's Dilemma by Michael Pollan Homegrown Democrat ...

From Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides: "Emotions, in my experience, aren't covered by single words. I don't believe in 'sadness', 'joy', or 'regret.' Maybe the best proof that the language is patriarchal is that it oversimplifies feeling. I'd like to have at my disposal complicated hybrid ...

Well, there certainly are books that I couldn't get through like MiddleSex and The Time Traveler's Wife but LOTR wasn't one of them. I thought the language was unusually beautiful, I guess that's what you'd expect from an author who studied linguistics. And I adored the way the story was ...

The Butter Battle Book Dr. Seuss The Book on the Bookshelf by Henry Petroski Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides Silly Sally by Audrey Wood Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse

... admire the author's ability to totally inhabit (and portray) the mindset of his adolescent narrators in TVS as well as in Middlesex.

... rule that for this year at least, whatever I start I finish, I read the whole thing. It was very well written. I loved Middlesex and bought this book after on the strength of that book. There was no mystery about how the story would end, and the despondency of the narrators throughout the ...

... I'm interested in hearing what people have to say about why they liked it and/or what the message/purpose was. I loved Middlesex and was so shocked at how many negative feelings I had for TVS as I was reading it and now, 2-3 months later.

... no idea why these two books popped into my head as soon as I read your opening line, but I might as well give it a shot. Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides or The Corrections by Jonathan Franzen?

... much more of a downer in comparison. Eugenides is a very good writer, and I did like the book, but not as much as I liked Middlesex. As a first novel, The Virgin Suicides is impressive, however.

... Scott's love of writing, and people's love of storytelling. I think Lisey's may be on my top five this year, along with Middlesex and The Kite Runner. I have gotten a couple stories read in Skeleton Crew, as well. I'm now in "Beachworld." Still stuck in Wrinkle and The Prince. M ...

... I made that error in my post. TVS might be worth checking out, varielle, since you already own it. I thought Eugenides' Middlesex was brilliant. Oh, my, we are off-topic and the thread police should be showing up soon, but this has been a very interesting discussion, imo. Thanks for ...

#52 cmt: I loved Middlesex; it's on my top 5 list. Today I got from BookMooch: White Noise by Don DeLillo The Collection by Bentley Little, which are his short stories. and from PaperBackSwap: The Freedom Writers Diary

... bookmooch via the Netherlands today: The Alexandria Quartet by Lawrence Durrell (no idea if I'll like this - anyone?) Middlesex and Gellhorn: a Twentieth Century Life about Martha Gellhorn. And then a trip to Parsons, one of my favourite bookshops, for no good reason, but I found Aga ...

I've read only 39 0f 1001. This is my list: 1. The curious incident of the dog in the night-time - Mark Haddon 2. Middlesex - Jeffrey Eugenides 3.Memoirs of a geisha - Arthur Golden 4. Enduring love - Ian McEwan 5. Captain Corelli's mandolin - Louis de Bernieres 6. The virgin ...

Easily Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides is the best book I read in May. Followed by Hotel du Lac by Anita Brookner and Summer of Night by Dan Simmons.

... Bechdel Home Girl: Building a Dream House on a Lawless Block by Judith Matloff Bleak House by Charles Dickens Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides

... truth be told. I wouldn't say this is a book you have to read but it passed an afternoon pleasantly. 85. (116) Middlesex - Jeffrey Eugenides (529pp) I read this for a RL bookgroup - I must confess that if this hadn't been the case I probably wouldn't have read it this year, it wasn' ...

During lunch I finished Middlesex for book club next week and started an ER book from the April Bonus Batch, The 19th Wife. I'm only about 20 pages in, but so far it seems well-written and interesting.

I finally finished Storm Over Morocco. It didn't actually take forever, it just seemed like it. Now I've moved onto Middlesex and am quite enjoying it so far.

... - to review for ReaderViews, The Handmaid's Tale - my first Margaret Atwood!! - for the Atwoodian's group read, and Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides for my book club. I'm off to go and buy some sudoko to do while listening to The Three Musketeers or one of my other audio books on ...

Coming up soon (already checked out from the library) are Bonfire of the Vanities, Middlesex, Don Quixote, and Portnoy's Complaint. Already read this month are Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time (really enjoyed it...very quick read) and Slow Man (conflicted about it).

... later. In January I thought it might be a good idea to begin the year by reading the oldest book in the pile. But then Middlesex caught my interest, and it is back on the shelf.

Sadly, I finished Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides - I wish it could have gone on and on. This is one of the rare books where I can't stop thinking about the characters. Now I'm trying to wrap up Jesus: A Revolutionary Biography by JD Crossan.

Hello everyone, I thought I'd throw my hat into the ring! Here's my list of 2008 reads; I actually started the first one on March 1st (I had some issues before then that made personal reading impossible), but I'm still attempting to reach at least 50 by December 31st. In case you couldn't ...

nancyewhite in 888 Challenge : Nancy's 888 (toukokuu 3, 2008, 8:29pm)

29. Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides I loved this book. Every character felt fully developed, every observation completely right. It is truly an epic novel and well worth reading. I literally can't stop thinking about it. I even dreamed of it last night. Why I read it: I resist well-reviewed ...

For me, it's a tie between The Kite Runner and Middlesex.

... the The Handmaid's Tale. I read it when I was very young so I want to give it another go... Also reading Money and Middlesex. Still procrastinating... I have a paper due by the end of the week for my history class.

One of my all-time favorites! I adore Vonnegut. How about another from my all-time list: Jeffrey Eugenides's Middlesex.
