In general it is hard for me to read a book after I have already seen the movie. Although in this case, I barely remember the movie, so it should not be an issue. Then I will probably watch the movie again...and have complaints. LOL. I do remember thinking the movie was a bit weird, but I love indie flicks. I cannot wait to see what else Mr. Eugenides writes. I read My Sister's Keeper and once I saw the movie I thought it was so boring (well at least 2/3 of it). And I do think a lot was left out from the book although I can see why some of the subplots were removed. However the movie ending seemed to make more since to me than the book's ending. I have a few books in my queue now to read before seeing the movie...The Time Traveler's Wife & Lovely Bones.
Sorry about the very late reply. I loved Middlesex! I am from Detroit so it was like a trip back home. It was a bit of a love letter to the city itself. I saw the movie Virgin Suicides but I have not read the book yet. I will be sure to add it to my list.
Thanks for the recommendation! I'm actually on a big fiction kick, and Danticat's memoir floored me.
Oh, yes, especially in what was really motivating "the bad guy!"
Hello Lindsay M, and welcome to WS! I do like Gregory Maguire--what do you think?
I'm not too big on listening to entire books on CD, but I love listening to short stories and poetry read. It's an entirely different experience.Nabokov is just so precise with language that Speak, Memory does read as fiction. That said, it's no Lolita.
He's the master. To think, English was his second language. If you haven't read any of his short work, check out the New Yorker podcasts, here. http://www.newyorker.com/online/podcasts/fiction
