Middlesex: A Novel by Jeffrey Eugenides

Interesting, Dramatic, Epic

Very interesting subject matter....great writing style

This is a great book. Took a little bit to get warmed up to the subject matter but the writing style is great. I could see and feel the story.

The Next Thing on My List: A Novel by Jill Smolinski

Fun, Inspiring, Optimistic

Too predictable in its outcome but still an enjoyable read

If you take the author's advice, this book can generate a good discussion about 5 things you want to do in 10 years. Which you could do without reading the book. Its an easy read but predictable. The characters are interesting and lively.

Winterdance: The Fine Madness of Running the Iditarod by Gary Paulsen

Adventurous, Insightful, Inspiring

Easy read, Funny. Some parts are intense.

I enjoyed reading Winterdance. It is funny and amazing. Why anyone would want to run the Iditarod is insane. This was a fast, enjoyable read that is inspiring about following your dreams.

The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society
