omg fight scene hot.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The ending of Owen Meany was like bells going off. It pleased me on so many levels. Anything I hadn't liked in the book so far came resoundingly into its own, and it all felt so earned. I didn't get that feeling of well-earned resolution from Lovely Bones.
Is Middlesex also from this decade? I really liked that book. The writing didn't stand out for me, but I found the subject matter fascinating as the plot unfolded.
Neil Gaiman doesn't need recommending here-if you're going to read him and haven't, you know. But I encourage people who appreciated the West Indian slant of Anansi Boys to check out Nalo Hopkinson's work. Her SFF is steeped in the Caribbean.

I finally found something to like about Sophie, her clothes.

CK can hit me hard. Eliot is yummy. When they showed him cooking? Delish.
I found a group of work guys around whom I do not clutch my pearls. Implied doggie sex jokes had me in tears. Not in my department, though. Which might be for the best. I'm jovial around my dept, but not that much sharing and joking. And animal sex would be creepy weird.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I need to rewatch that.
Hey, did anyone end up watching Men of a certain age? How was it?

I thoroughly enjoyed Middlesex as well. I did think the writing was beautiful in a lot of spots, and it was like several stories in one.
