Oh yes! I'm the poster who named Middlesex, but I could have easily put this one down as well. I've been a John Irving fan since the early 80s when I was in high school.


OP here. I read Middlesex years ago and really enjoyed it as well. Owen Meany is in my cart now!

OP here. I read Anna Karenina and Jane Eyre in high school. I wonder if I'll enjoy them more the second time around, now that I am an adult.

I liked Jane Eyre when I read it in middle school but re-read it a few years ago and got so much more out of it. Definitely worth another read.

If I can only read one book for the rest of my life, I'll take Proust's "In Search of Lost Time" to reread. He had a lot to say about a lot of things.
