Oprah, Reading

Oprah says you like Middlesex

Hear ye, hear ye, Oprah’s Book Club has spoken: your new favourite book is going to be Middlesex, the sprawling 2002 book by Jeffrey Eugenides that is (only at base) about a hermaphrodite who chooses to switch genders. Oprah is also billing it as being about family secrets, identities, and self-discovery – her favourites!

The Book Club website promises downloadable goodies such as an “exclusive bookmark,” questions for the author, and, oh yeah, some of the book’s content. Plus you – yes, you – can win a contest to be the first to e-mail Eugenides.

    Free bookmark!! And an exclusive one to boot. Oprah really knows how to treat a fan. I wonder if they’ll make the bookmark pink on one side and blue on the other…
