Autostraddle Summer Book Club 2011 12 years, 4 months agoI just spent the past three days reading Margaret Atwood’s Oryx and Crake and Year of the Flood (376 and 448 pages) . What I liked most about it was the fact that there were no robots, no flying cars, no space highways. It was a hauntingly real and visible image of what lows the world could potentially reach in less than 100 years. Some of the…[Read more]

Autostraddle Summer Book Club 2011 12 years, 4 months agoI just finished Elie Wiesel’s Night, which i acquired for the summer thanks to one of my professors. At 115 pages, it was a quick read, but obviously pretty depressing. I think I’ve read some Holocaust books that have been more explicit in how graphic they were , but this one still packs a punch. Here’s hoping that the other books the afore…[Read more]

i remember Night having a huge impact on me when I read it in high school. I picked it up this spring to reread it, but it wasn’t packing the same punch, so i stopped. i decided to leave it as that incredibly impactful book from when i was 14 instead of ruining it with details and grown up analyzing abilities.

but i still am curious about what i would think now.. i’ve been meaning to read his other books that are related (but fiction instead of memoir, i believe?) Dawn and Day. Anyone read those?

I first read Night in high school. It touched me deeply, and I remember feeling completely overwhelmed as I was reading it, as if I wasn’t emotionally mature enough to handle it at the time.

Autostraddle Summer Book Club 2011 12 years, 4 months agoJust wrapped up Burning in Water, Drowning in Flame by Charles Bukowski. which is a 232 page book of selected poems from the years 1955-1973. Some of what Bukowski writes is problematic, but I was impressed by how accessible and relatable he is when he talks about the profane, every day things. I think ”out of the arms…” is one of the most spot…[Read more]
