Recommendations

I recently finished reading "Middlesex" by Jeffrey Eugenides. I highly recommend it. It's one of my all time favorite books. It's was somewhat slow to start, but once it got going it was very hard to put down. The final scene in the book was very memorable.

I don't think this book NEEDS my recommendation, since some prize by the name of "Pulitzer" and some chick by the name of "Oprah" recommended it before me. But, what the heck. When they're right, they're right.

Also, the movie "Slumdog Millionaire" was a remarkable movie. Go see it. It's hard to describe, but it was a good, old-fashioned comedy.
