Autostraddle Summer Book Club 2011 12 years, 4 months agoI just finished reading Fascinating Rhythm: The collaboration of George and Ira Gershwin, by Deena Rosenberg. It was, obviously, a biography about the Gershwin brothers! I loved this book, because while most of the books about Gershwin music focus predominately on Mr. George, this one meshed their two different stories together and how they…[Read more]

Autostraddle Summer Book Club 2011 12 years, 4 months agoThis morning I finished Glen Duncan’s ‘The Last Werewolf’ which was recommended to me by someone who is into sometimes terrible novels about vampires and werewolves (i.e – Twilight) so I was apprehensive. Then I realised this was the Glen Duncan who wrote ‘I, Lucifer’ which was brilliant so I got stuck in. Duncan goes far beyond telling a simple…[Read more]

Autostraddle Summer Book Club 2011 12 years, 4 months ago@internrachel & @julia1 I read Bossypants by Tina Fey (288 pages). It was funny and great and everything else everyone else has already said about it. I also read Sex, Drugs, & Cocoa Puffs by Chuck Klosterman (272 pages). I thought this book was thought provoking but also slightly confusing since the author goes on multiple tangents pretty…[Read more]

BOSSYPANTS IS THE BESTEST. I am so in love with Tina Fey.

Autostraddle Summer Book Club 2011 12 years, 4 months agoI read The Girls Who Went Away: The Hidden History of Women Who Surrendered Children for Adoption in the Decades Before Roe v. Wade by Ann Fessler (368 pages). It was incredibly interesting and also SO sad, I’m pretty sure I cried at least 3 times. I knew a little about homes for unwed mothers and such but I didn’t really know what massive…[Read more]

Autostraddle Summer Book Club 2011 12 years, 4 months ago(@internrachel & @julia1) I just finished The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers; 447 pages. I have read The Hobbit several times and first read The Fellowship when I was in high school 5 or so years ago. For some reason or another, I got distracted and never finished the series! I found a beautiful box set of Tolkien at the thrift store and just…[Read more]

kudos for that. I don’t think I could even finish the Hobbit.

This makes me feel better about myself. I couldn’t get through The Hobbit either. Though I actually never read Lord of the Rings either, now that I think about it.

Autostraddle Summer Book Club 2011 12 years, 4 months agoTo everyone and also @internrachel and @julia1
Today I finished Caitlin Moran’s ‘How to be a Woman’ which is part autobiography and part feminist manifesto. Moran describes it as ‘The Female Eunuch re-written from a bar stool with jokes about knickers.’ I think it is gut-bustingly hilarious in places to the point where I couldn’t stifle my…[Read more]

Since June 16th…
I read Daniel Deronda by George Eliot on my Kindle, but, according to Goodreads, it’d be, er, 832 pages in non-digital format. I read Middlemarch earlier in the spring, and I la-la-loved it, so DD was a disappointment in…[Read more]

Marry me, please?

I read Fun Home (twice) last summer and loved it!

Aw, thanks, guys. I never took a women’s and gender studies class in college, so I had a lot of catching up to do. Atwood’s next, or is next once I finish this riveting Kaplan GRE Exam Math Workbook.

Autostraddle Summer Book Club 2011 12 years, 4 months agoI just finished What Was Lost by Catherine O’Flynn (246 pages). I picked it up totally randomly at the library but it was pretty good. It’s about how this 10 year old girl goes missing and the repercussions of that 20 years later–what happened to the man who was accused of kidnapping her and how that affects his sister today, the man who saw her…[Read more]
