Minus the Spine

Check out my Goodreads review of Middlesex. I know, I know, I’m so late to the game but as the Miss Mary Contrary that I am, I generally don’t read trendy books at the height of their trendiness–I tend to meander through eras and styles. It’s been on my list for forever, but I finally borrowed it from my friend after I discovered that she had one of my books on her shelf (Prep by Curtis Sittenfeld), and not wanting to burden myself with one that I’ve already read, I grabbed this one so that I’d at least have something to read on the subway. This was the first book this year that made me miss a stop.
