Middlesex is really interesting. Whereas The Virgin Suicides was about teen suicide and repressed sexuality, this book is about the genetic consequences of incest. And silkworms. Apparently if you peel open a silkworm you'll find a tiny reproduction of the moth it will one day become. Makes my skin seizure.
I want to read Haroun and the Sea of Stories by Salman Rushdie. That will be the next book I buy, once I'm done the books on the pile. Not to be bought a minute before the last page of the last book.

Did you know that Salman Rushdie has appeared in the gossip section of People Magazine? He's had like four wives. And now he's married to a nubile young model.
