Autostraddle Summer Book Club 2011 12 years, 4 months agoSo! I’m excited for this. I recently finished Faulkner’s Absalom, Absalom! (378 pages).

I’m super interested to hear what you have to say about Huckleberry Finn from your British (I assume you’re British from your profile…) perspective! Even though I’ve (shamefully) never read it myself.

Hm, I guess this might sound a little strange but in a way it reminded me of Dickens insofar as Dickens’ London is very much his own creation – like a kind of hyperbolic version of real London. To me, Twain’s depiction of the South…[Read more]

Autostraddle Summer Book Club 2011 12 years, 4 months agoThis is amazing, I can’t wait to see what everyone is reading. I’ve got summer classes starting on Monday, but I always bring a book to class to read when the professor is late!
I just finished ‘Harpo Speaks’ by Harpo Marx with Rowland Barber. (How does that fancy linking work? I’m computer illiterate for real. Look at my avatar for…[Read more]

Autostraddle Summer Book Club 2011 12 years, 4 months ago@internrachel @julia1 HELLO it is me Riese. I read Don Lemon’s book, Transparent. It was 222 pages long.
I thought I would write about it on Autostraddle. Unfortunately it wasn’t about him being gay or about the sexual abuse he suffered as a child (not like I’m jonseing for sexual abuse memoirs, but in a book which claimed to be a revelation, I…[Read more]

Just a few days ago I finished reading ‘The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making’ by Catherynne Valente (256 pages). It’s supposedly a YA book, but it’s really for anyone who loves fairytales. Plus, Valente’s use of language is so lush (she’s also a poet,…[Read more]
