I've been meaning to keep a reading journal while I read but I keep resisting. I don't want to complicated the act of reading, but that means I end up forgetting a lot of things I wanted to say when it comes time to say it.Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07998996750944114185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3749031091155130228.post-60001557684006049382011-10-08T20:33:21.039-07:002011-10-08T20:33:21.039-07:00I'm only about half way through Middlesex on a...I'm only about half way through Middlesex on audio for this month's Reading Buddies pick on my blog. I agree with everything you say here, though, even just from the first half. One thing that has stood out to me so far is the changing face of Detroit and how much time Eugenides spends exploring and chronicling Detroit throughout the decades Cal's family is there. He almost brings the city into the story as yet another character. Middlesex is my first experience with Eugenides, but I'm sure The Virgin Suicides as well as his newest one will be on my TBR list shortly.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11429588794754369453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3749031091155130228.post-12284405184322309622011-10-08T20:20:27.622-07:002011-10-08T20:20:27.622-07:00New follower!
