I finally finished Middlesex, which took me a little over two months to read because of it's length. It's an outstanding book, and really interesting. I would recommend it to everyone, but I also understand that the subject matter is not for everyone. Not everyone is comfortable reading about a hermaphrodite. But I loved it.

Well, I'm off to Houston for a day, and I'm taking along John McPhee's "Annals of a Former World", which also won a Pulitzer Prize. It's actually a collection of five books, but I've only read the first one so far.
