The Great Library of Autostraddle 11 years, 11 months agoI just finished The Last Man by Mary Shelley. Apocalyptic fiction is great! The book was mostly about how future England would deal with plague. [Side note: Mary Shelley did not spend a lot of time dreaming about what the future would be like. In another 80 years, we’re going to be right back in 19th century England.] I was more interested in how…[Read more]

The Great Library of Autostraddle 11 years, 11 months agoI’ve been busy reading in the past few days! Here’s what I’ve finished recently:
‘Reality Bites Back: The Troubling Truth About Guilty Pleasure TV’ by Jennifer Pozner – It’s a hilariously snarky, but serious academic take down of reality TV and it’s regressive, offensive ideas about women, people of color, and the poor. It’s putting into words…[Read more]

The Great Library of Autostraddle 11 years, 12 months agoIn the last few days I’ve finished up a couple of books I’ve been reading:
‘In the Peanut Gallery with Mystery Science Theater 3000: Essays on Film, Fandom, Technology, and the Culture of Riffing’ eds. Robert Weiner and Shelley Barba – This was fun. I loves me some MST and you could tell the people who wrote these essays do too. The book…[Read more]

There’s an MST3K book? Nice.

The Great Library of Autostraddle 12 years agoToday I read ‘Body Shots: Hollywood and the Culture of Eating Disorders’ by Emily Fox-Kales. This book explains in plain English (i.e. no endless strings of academic jargon) the ways in which Hollywood movies both reflect and encourage the cultural attitudes and thought processes that cause eating disorders. The author is both a professor and a…[Read more]

The Great Library of Autostraddle 12 years agoHello hello! I just finished ‘Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?’ by Mindy Kaling. Overall it was pretty good, although individual essays ranged from hilarious to totally boring and annoying. I liked it as much as I liked Bossypants, although I think Bp has a much wider audience. If (like me)you fall into Mindy Kaling’s target audience of ‘smart,…[Read more]

You guyssss, I think I really like this girl at work, but we are both sooo painfully shy/awkward that we don’t really talk at all in real life :( We sort of work in different departments, too, which makes it even more difficult. HOW DO I PUSH THROUGH THIS CRIPPLING ANXIETY. she is really cute and a confirmed gay and I think she’s into me, too. we…[Read more]

Well, my advice would be to invite her out to a place with a mellower atmosphere. Personally, if a girl – even one I was interested in – invited me to a party where I probably wouldn’t know anybody, I’d probably decline. Especially when I’m not into the partying scene.
I’d suggest something casual ie: seeing a movie featuring some hot actress at…[Read more]

The Great Library of Autostraddle 12 years agoI just finished reading ‘Dies the Fire’ by S.M. Stirling and it was AWESOME! It’s the first book in a series, but it’s a self-contained story; it doesn’t end on a cliffhanger or anything. One day out of the blue, there’s a flash of white light and everything mechanical stops working all at once. Not only that, but guns and steam engines don’t work…[Read more]
