Wary but Intrigued.
"who would otherwise be turned off by a novel that doesn't feature guns and car chases, or smutty, tawdry sex."
Are you kidding me? Middlesex has this big stupid chase scene at the end of it that involves a priest trying to extract a ransom from his parishioners which ends in a with a swerving crazy car jumping off into a river. Totally dumb and unnecessary. You could almost Eugenides gearing up for his Hollywood moment.
Plus half the book, we're waiting to get a good look at the narrator's "junk" and to see if the narrator scores with some Asian chick.
I agree that's a great book and with your hopes that the miniseries doesn't ruin it. Done well, it could really energize his already amazing writing.

Sullivan: Cut Off the DNC's Money.
Hey Dan,
I think you're gonna need to spearhead the sign-up list for couples or website on this if we wanna see some action. The rest of the gay blogosphere seems to love the idea, but now we need gay couples to commit and share their stories all the way up the the arrest. Imagine a website where the couples from each state who sign up can put photos of themeselves and their kids and then later have a recount of the arrest with more pics. Brilliant.
But I fear if you do not get the ball rolling, neither will anyone else and it'll be relegated to the good ideas that never happened.
