I just read Middlesex. It's my favourite book that I've read lately. It's no wonder it sold 4 million copies!
Wow thats quite a few. Thats cool.
It's so good. It won a Pulitzer Prize
Oh really how old is it?
It came out in 2002, so it's 16 years old.
Oh wow thats not too old at all.
Nope! It has a pretty modern topic. It's about an intersex man who has feminine traits because of a gene mutation 
Oh thats quite a hot topic type thing nowadays.
