Middlesex is arguably one of the best novels of all time.

I can't get over how well written this book is. His descriptions are palpable. Awesome! I even want to go to Detroit now.

Middlesex - I just finished it yesterday. I went back to the first page today. What a mighty novel. I will love Callie forever and ever and ever and ever....The writer gave me a gift no one can ever take away from me.

@updog88 Shut up, that was a pathetic comment.

[rslynch2]

His voice is nerdier than I imagined, a bit high or nasally or something, maybe? I adore his work.
