Old Books, New Readers discussion

Not a classic but no one I know has read it and I've been DYING to talk to someone about this book! It's insanely good. The weirdest book I've ever read. I'm not even done yet. Almost though. Anyone in this group read it?

I havn't rea it sorry, will you post a link to it? What is it about?

I just finished it and it was great. One of my favorite books now. It's full of shocking moments. The story is about a person who was born a hermaphrodite but didn't know it till they were 14. the story goes through his/her family history that lead to his/her birth and then his/her life growing up. It's very weird but so interesting. It's a completely new perspective.

I can't even pick one pronoun lol.

It's Oprah's book club, isn't it? I know this book but haven't read it too. It's quite expensive in here (my country), the price hasn't changed over the past few years. LOL

Someday I will buy it for ya Nissa nad send it to ya, although I have no idea how much it costs, but one day I will be rich enough it won't matter :D

You're so kind, Christa! :) Even though you're going to buy the book at a price cheaper than here, but the shipping costs will remain large. :D
I remember a few years ago that my friend saved her money to buy this book. Yeah, this book was quite popular when it began to be published here.

I got it at my college's library. I was surprised to see that they had 5 copies of it on the self yet they didn't have Villette by Charlotte Bronte, just Jane Eyre as usual.

I really hope the classic books such as Jane Eyre is in the school program or curriculum in here. In fact, we are only to learn the original literature of our country. Except, there's some of the teachers who have taught me and introduce those classic works. So glad!

PS: I don't think if this Middlesex is in school's library in my country. :D

It's not a classic. Published in 2002 but it's really good. What country do you live in?

Yes, I mean the classics like Jane Eyre as you previously mentioned Bronte. :D
I live in Indonesia. No doubt if you never heard that before.
