So, following on from that 100 books meme...

Name ONE book that wasn't listed that you feel should have been.

I'll kick off with The History of Love by Nicole Krauss.

Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides. IMHO an instant classic.

Oooh.

Ohhhh it's so good. it's about a hermaphrodite, who tells you about his family and how he became a hermaphrodite because of his genes. the good thing is that it doesn't center on his sexuality, but on how he deals with life and how he became the person he is, and not even just because of his condition. it's a really good book, about Greece and America and life in general. I really loved it
