I recently listened to the book Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides and thoroughly enjoyed it!! I tried to read this book about a year ago and didn't get past the first chapter. I knew it was a good book (reviews/awards), but I just couldn't get into it. Two weeks ago I decided to visit my parents and what better way to enjoy a road trip alone than to have someone read me a story? I listened to it all the way there (4 hours) and back. The reader, Kristoffer Tabori, was amazing! I can still hear his voice ringing in my ears! I enjoy reading historical fiction, so I think that is what really turned me on about the story. I originally thought this would be the story of Cal, just his life. When I realized that he was starting with his grandparent's story in the early 1900s, I was hooked!!! I recommend this story to all of my friends now! It was very impressive.
Oh, yeah, so I'm not an Oprah Fan. But, she has an amazing person picking books for her!! Oh, if only I could have that job....
