Books

Last year someone raved to me about Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides. last week I was in Oxfam and I saw a copy. I thought -ah that's the book that that girl thought was brilliant. So I bought it. Reader, I didn't get passed page 53. What is the deal with the brother being called Chapter Eleven? Is that in reference to something- is all made clear late or is he really called Chapter Eleven? I feared I was in the world of tricksy writing that makes the reader feel clever for reading it. has any one out there read it - is it worth persevering with?
BTW the book that I would describe as brilliant is Never Let me go by Kazuo Ishiguro. The story stays with you.

Shopping in Asda today there was a shelf stacker that had Downs. Bravo Asda.
