The Great Library of Autostraddle 12 years, 5 months agoI just finished reading the short story “I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream” by Harlan Ellison. I very much enjoyed it and you might too! Just as a warning, I’d heard it was incredibly unsettling, but I wasn’t really bothered until the last few paragraphs, at which point I kind of freaked. Still totally worth it though.
-
One of my favorite short stories of all time!
-
I read Dhalgren a long time ago. It was….weird. :l

The Great Library of Autostraddle 12 years, 5 months agoMay I just say: “Sometimes She Let’s Me”, the anthology in the NSFW post this week. DOES NOT SUCK ASS, except in the literal sense… As a general rule people act like writing erotica means you can just be ridiculous and sloppy, but this ones pretty good so far. Mind you I’m not THAT far in…

We Love Documentaries 12 years, 5 months agoTV documentaries anyone? I’m in the middle of watching African American Lives 2, which is the second documentary series from Henry Louis Gates, Jr. about African American genealogy and research into the family history of some notable people like Maya Angelou, Morgan Freeman, etc. I also really want to see America: The Story of Us and Brick City.
-
Oh I just looked at my instant queue: Cosmos: The Complete Collection and This American Life are some others.
-
I watch a lot of the stuff that shows up on DocZone and The Passionate Eye, on CBC
The “Great Food Revolution” Series, from a year or two ago was really interesting. Especially the “Food of the Future” episode about “Molecular Cuisine.”
Some of the docs they’ve shown that I’ve watched in the last year or so:

We Love Documentaries 12 years, 5 months agoThe Tribe 8 documentary is amazing and so is Hype! about grunge and the Seattle “scene.” Watched both of them yesterday.

I’ve seen that Tribe 8 documentary. It’s, um, interesting.

The Great Library of Autostraddle 12 years, 5 months agoHas anyone read the Room by Emma Donogue. I just started reading it after it having great reviews but it seems a little slow and sad, not sure whether to continue. Any recommendations here?
-
I haven’t read it, but several people on a message board I go to called Snarkfest read it and were raving over it. These particular people have pretty good taste I think, so I wanted to give it a go. Apparently, a few of them felt it lagged a bit in the beginning as well, so maybe it picks up?
-
Please continue. It’s such a good read. A bit depressing at some parts yet uplifting at the same time. You won’t regret reading it :)
-
Strongly agree with @Zulu, with the caveat that we can’t know what may be particularly unsettling/press buttons for you… so stop if you are feeling that you need to stop… but I genuinely LOVED this book. Donoghue works her way pretty thoroughly through the possibilities of the situation, so there’s some intensity, but she does it with real…[Read more]

I’m half way through at the moment on your advice, I think I will have to keep reading. I just find myself so haunted by it that I have trouble sleeping (though to be honest I read it just before bed). However I wake up in the morning grateful I’m not in that situation.
