Oh well, without further ado: Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides (fiction--it doesn't feel like it though) Can't Buy My Love by Jean Kilbourne (non-fiction) The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy (fiction--again, doesn't feel like it, but she insists it is). |

I'll never understand why it became so popular. | i found it to be very atmospheric and the ominous/ threatening mood to be well done. and i really liked the way he did visuals. if a writer doesnt make me see something clearly, it doesnt hold me. i think in gothic novels, first and foremost you have to have that down. and i really liked this part of it. |

It was a very new type of vampire story when it was published, now everything in it is a cliché.
