The Time Traveler's Wife

[ilkee]

I have had a shitty day. And for no good reason*.

The project I've been working on since August FINALLY went to the printer today. That's actually a good thing. However, the courier who came to pick up my files and comps came to the back door. WTF? That was creepy.

But this is happiness....

I had heard that Claire Forlani was slated to play this role

Sorry you had a shitty day - that sucks. (((hugs))) Believe me I understand. Every time I turned around today, there was more bad news at work. It is going to get ugly.

That book sounds interesting, I'd never heard of it. Now I gotta get it.

Oh DO get the book. It really is a classic. Memoirs of a Geisha, Middlesex, and The Time Traveler's WIfe - contemporary classics. And I think TTW might be the best of those three.

Middlemarch is definitely amazing, but not as personally touching or as easy to get into. I studied Middlemarch for half a semester in college and I'm still not sure I get it. What I did get, though, I liked! Lol. TTW is the perfect bittersweet intelligent romance to lose onself in and never forget.

Middlemarch? I was talking about Middlesex - a story of discovery from the pov of a hermaphrodite. An amazing story. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middlesex_(novel)

Lmao! Note to self: don't comment on LJ late at night. I have also read Middlesex, and I really liked it. It's another book on the short list of contemporary American lit that I like. Cal is such a memorable character and Eugenides does an amazing job in writing him. I love the whole immigrant narrative that emphasizes the effect of family on how a person turns out.

Sorry for the mix-up! But Middlemarch is great too, though very different from Middlesex!
