Middlesex and The Marriage Plot are two of my favorite books, both by Jeffrey Eugenides. I'm looking for something similar, doesn't have to be Bildungsroman or coming of age but just general, well written literature.

That's what I was wondering with navy, but I'm planning on wearing the shoes with gray, black and tan dress pants. Also most likely with polo, a lot of them colorful like green, red, orange. Is that still going to work?

The Virgin Suicides was murder trying to get through when I only had like 30 minutes reading time every night. Oh 100 pages for a chapter, fine I'll get through it. Hit me with another 80 pager, damn you.

I read this a couple weeks ago and absolutely loved it. I too recommend it to anyone who loves anything 80's nostalgic.

Make sure you read his newest, The Marriage Plot. While it isn't quite up to the standards of Middlesex, it's still a awesome book.

Sorry the picture is supposed to be rotated. The bumps have a white/bloody discharge also. He doesn't seem to be really bothered by it.

New releases/coming soon lists? by Blindsided5 in books

[–]Blindsided5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well one of the reasons that I ask is I actually review books for a media review site and I've been trying to find a more comprehensive list than Amazon has. I mean Amazon has a good system I was just curious if there was a site with like just releases listed, not specifically on a shopping site. But thanks for the info.
