'The Real Sweeney Todd'  by Peter Haining

What's that about? I love the play and movie Sweeney Todd.

[GYPSY Girl]

Well the author Peter Haining talks about the story behind who Sweeney Todd was if he had existed. He talks about the stories...myths..some facts based on his research. Takes a look at the 150 years of history of the Sweeney Todd story and just kind of gives his views and opinions on what his research showed him. I picked up the book because of Johnny Depp's part in the movie Sweeney Todd back in Dec 2007. So from curiousness stand point..i decided to pick it up. I think it's going to be pretty fastinating anyway.

I found my copy at a bookstore called Barnes and Nobel.

A book called "Middlesex" by somebody- Stephanides.  It's about a hermaphrodite that comes from a Greek immigrant family.  Promises to be very interesting.

It's by Jeffrey Eugenides, and it's a masterpiece.
