Autostraddle Summer Book Club 2011 12 years, 3 months agoThis is quite lovely actually, cause at the beginning of the summer my friend wrote a book list for me of her quintessential queer reads.
I started with The Last Time I Wore A Dress, a memoir By Daphne Scholinski. 211 pages. Talk about heartbreaking, but enduring. Daphne detailed her detention in mental institutions for the greater part of her…[Read more] -

No no, I will read Y: The Last Man maybe.
-
That one was pretty good, but i never finished it. I’ll be interested in hearing how you liked it!
-
I cried really hard through, like, the last 3 issues.

-
you are not alone. i’ve got several series that i want to read/re-read this summer. so much graphic goodness. :)
-
DC girl all the way here! :) But I’m still waiting for DC to release Batwoman….
-
I am in the middle of re-reading Thor and Incredible Hercules, so definitely not!
-
Hell no! I have one of Ariel Schrag’s graphic novels in the mail to me right now, so I’ll definitely be posting about that in the next week or so. I’m also contemplating a full series reread of “Strangers in Paradise.”
-
make sure to post about it here when you read it! Which one did you get? Her stuff intrigues me, but i’ve never actually read a book of hers, only what’s online.
.
Have you ever read Fun Home?-
No, I haven’t read Fun Home. That’s one of those I keep meaning to read, but somehow it always stays somewhere in the middle of my To Read list!
I’m getting “Potential: The Highschool Comic Chronicles of Ariel Schrag.” I saw it mentioned somewhere on Autostraddle, and I got really excited about it. Luckily, a copy of it was just posted on…[Read more]

Autostraddle Summer Book Club 2011 12 years, 3 months agoI just finished The Famished Road by Ben Okri today and it was exactly 500 pages long! Overall, I liked the book. The beginning and end were fantastic but some of the middle was a bit slow. The book is essentially narrated by a “spirit-child” named Azaro who is reborn (reluctantly) as a human child but keeps his connections to the other world. He…[Read more]

I read Between the Bridge and the River by Craig Ferguson (329 pages) a few days ago…I didn’t actually know he used to be a talk show host, until about halfway through when I decided to read the back. It was a fun summer read but not exceptional :( It was…[Read more]

Browncoats, Scoobies & other Whedonites 12 years, 3 months agoHey I remember there was a conversation once on the main site about how it would would be cool to see someone recap Buffy as they’re watching it for the first time, and I just ran across something like that: “the hat rack.” It’s gonna be recapped season-by-season.
I also learned from reading the comments that there’s a podcast where 3 people…[Read more]

Autostraddle Summer Book Club 2011 12 years, 3 months agoI’m dragging my way through Revolutionary Road. It’s wonderfully written but terribly depressing and it’s so beautiful outside… #dilemmaeveryday
(PS: Did anyone even like Tootsie Rolls?)
-
revolutionary road is incredibly depressing. beautifully written but kinda makes you want to jump off a cliff. definetly a winter time read so that the weather matches the mood of th book but since you have already started i’d say just finish it. its worth it. i kinda of think of it like lolita very wrong and not heartwarming but written so well…[Read more]
-
Maybe it’s a good idea to read it in the summer though? If I get too melancholic I can just step outside.
-
-
a friend described Revolutionary Road as “it took more than it gave”, and ever since I’ve been a bit apprehensive to read it…
-
Your friend is probably right, but I must say the book also inspires reflexion like few novels do.

Autostraddle Summer Book Club 2011 12 years, 3 months agoHey guys! (@internrachel, @julia1)
I just finished reading Candy Girl by Diablo Cody.
I picked it up because 1. I am SO IN LOVE with Diablo Cody, 2. It’s about strippers, namely Diablo Cody being a stripper, and 3. Because my friend gave it to me and who doesn’t like free books?
Diablo Cody hails from my hometown of Minneapolis, and it was a…[Read more]-
This sounds cool, I think I’ll check it out.
-
that does sound good! – is it ok to read on public transport?..
-
I was fine, but I read Cunt by Inga Muscio on the train, so maybe I just have no fear. I mean, the worst that will happen is someone will say something disapproving and you’ll never see them again. But maybe someone’ll see it and be interested!
Either way, read it.
