Autostraddle Summer Book Club 2011 12 years, 1 month agoI had to read Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows (JK Rowling, 759 pages) again, because I went to the last movie and was all like “What? I don’t remember that!”. I feel like I read it way to fast the first time, this time around I definitely enjoyed it more. And I may have teared up at the last chapter, even though I was…[Read more]

Autostraddle Summer Book Club 2011 12 years, 2 months agoSo I grabbed The Center Cannot Hold (Elyn Saks, 368 pages) at the library after somebody somewhere an Autostraddle said they enjoyed it. I did not. Since checking it out and starting to read it a few weeks ago, I’ve read three other books. Really, I’m not going to lie, I only finished it because you guys have me on a quest…[Read more]

Haha, you are way more dedicated than I am… I’m pretty sure that I’ve abandoned halfway through at least as many books as I’ve actually read to the end.

Autostraddle Summer Book Club 2011 12 years, 2 months agoSo minutes ago I finished Mysterious Skin by Scott Heim (292 pages). I thought I was prepared, having seen the film a few years ago, but that was not the case. Gregg Araki’s stylized directing and shoegaze soundtrack, while amazing, kind of takes away from the fact that the story being told is about the heartbreaking…[Read more]

Oh man, this book was the literary equivalent of being punched in the chest. Very well written, totally fucked up, and heartbreaking.
I saw the movie first, too. It really doesn’t prepare you. How fucking awesome was Joseph Gordon Levitt, though? That guy is one fearless actor.

i saw that movie but i felt like nobody else saw that movie. i’ve always wondered about the book

I saw the movie as well a few years ago and thought I was the only one, haha. It definitely struck something in me. I never knew it was a book! The movie was hard, so I have to imagine that the book isn’t an easy read. I think I may still give it a go, though.

i read this book a few years ago. i think i sort of recognized the name before, probably because it was a movie, but this was one of those, i’m sitting in a coffee shop where they have a give and take shelf, i’ll pick up this one because the cover is colorful. So when i got into reading it, i was overwhelmed. I found it to be really genuinely and…[Read more]

OK so I read another GRAPHIC NOVEL… “The Essential Dykes To Watch Out For” by Alison Bechdel, and that’s 416 pages. Or 208 in comic years. Anywhat.
I remember being a little baby gay, and in high school my also queer best friend and I would always be on the lookout for the free gay weekly newspapers that would sometimes…[Read more]-
I’ve only skimmed a little bit of DTWOF, but I highly recommend Bechdel’s graphic novel memoir, “Fun Home”. I read it for a graphic novels course and she came to my college to tell us more about her life, it’s a pretty great book.
