Autostraddle Summer Book Club 2011 12 years, 1 month agoToday I finished Love & Lies: Marisol’s Story by Ellen Wittlinger (245 pages) and also read The Lost Language of Cranes by David Leavitt (353 pages). I feel like I saw reviews of Love & Lies on AfterEllen or something a long time ago and looked at it in the bookstore, but decided that Marisol was a bit too outgoing for me and I wasn’t ready to…[Read more]

It’s been a while since I updated so I have a few to mention…
– Foucault’s HISTORY OF SEXUALITY (vol.1, 176 pages). In this, Foucault refutes the idea of Victorian repressive sexuality and connects sexuality and its discourse to power, but not necessarily in a suppressive manner. I found this pretty interesting and not as di…[Read more]-
I’ve never been that interested in Willa Cather before, but Sapphira and the Slave Girl sounds good! But I take it you like her other books better?
-
it’s kind of interesting, but I didn’t think it was a great work. I think I’d still recommend My Antonia or O Pioneers as a starting point, but that’s just because they’re my favourites. But go for Sapphira if you’re interested! It was actually a little hard to find for me, I think my book shop had to order it from the US…

As far as pure theory books go, Foucault’s are much more readable than most. His ideas are pretty good, too. In grad school, when I was enraged and hating life in general and my Women’s Studies program in particular, seeing Foucault on the syllabus would calm my fury a good deal. He certainly never made me want to punch babies like certain…[Read more]

Haha, I’ve just started reading some Butler, and I can only handle it by reading about 5-10 pages at a time which is making me a bit sad because normally I read pretty quickly. idk, I like what she says about (older) feminism making assumptions about other cultures and therefore being almost colonialist, but I still feel like I’m going to need the…[Read more]

Autostraddle Summer Book Club 2011 12 years, 1 month agoI forgot to list the things I’ve been reading. Oops. Other than all of autostraddle, I recently read:
Fun Home by Alison Bechdel (232 pages)
This graphic novel was wonderful to read. Filled with references to The Odyssey, Joyce, and approximately a bajillion lesbian books, this is one of my new favorites. Her drawing…[Read more]

Autostraddle Summer Book Club 2011 12 years, 1 month agoI read Grl2grl: Short Fictions, by Julie Anne Peters (151 pages) and Hello, Groin by Beth Goobie (271 pages). Grl2grl was a short book of really short stories… probably my favorite was the last one about the girls who met at music camp. I think I remember reading an interview with a queer librarian and Hello, Groin was one of her favorite…[Read more]

It was worth the wait, though :) I realy love the world Dianne Sylvan has created here. Yeah, it’s about vampires, which I’m…[Read more]

After a bunch of longer books, I decided it was time for some shorter stuff, and so I just finished a couple of short little books– A Mathematician’s Apology, by G.H. Hardy (153 pgs), and The Club of Angels, by Luis Fernando Verissimo (135 pgs).
First, A Mathematician’s Apology. Hardy was a mathematician at Cambridge and…[Read more]-
Hi if you have it set so that you get emails every time someone replies to you, sorry! My html was fucked so I deleted it and I’m replying again.
Your description of that first book, A Mathematician’s Apology, reminded me of something I’ve read along the same lines. It’s clearly influenced by Hardy: A Mathematician’s Lament by Paul Lockhar…[Read more]

Thanks for linking to that Lockhart essay! He perfectly articulates what I think is wrong with math education–how does such a beautiful and interesting subject get turned in to something so boring? I wish I’d had him as a math teacher.
