The Great Library of Autostraddle 12 years, 4 months agoi’ve just finished ‘delusions of gender’ by cordelia fine. i read ‘why so slow’ by virginia valian before
i can really recommend them both, very interesting reads, well backed by substantial scientific evidence. but also rather frustrating in ways when you realize how (subtly) misogynistic society/academia still is..any suggestions for further…[Read more]

If you’re interesting in feminism and sex, Jessica Valenti’s The Purity Myth (taking on the abstinence movement) and Ariel Levy’s Female Chauvinist Pigs: Women and the Rise of Raunch Culture are a good duo.
-
OMG Delusions of Gender was so good! I want to buy it for everybody now. If you haven’t read it I’d recommend Natalie Angier’s Woman: An Intimate Geography, a great science/sex/feminism read. Also Evolution’s Rainbow: Diversity, Gender, and Sexuality in Nature and People, by Joan Roughgarden.

The Great Library of Autostraddle 12 years, 5 months agoJust finished reading Brick Lane by Monica Ali. Freaking amazing. No gayness unfortunately, but particularly good for anyone who’d like to know more about Bangladesh,London and immigration into the UK.

The Great Library of Autostraddle 12 years, 5 months agoJust finished my third Christopher Moore book in a row: Bloodsucking Fiends. I also started Tipping the Velvet awhile back. Any thoughts? It’s my first lesbian-related fiction book. Why do they all have to be romances though? I want action! I want excitement! Lesbian ninjas vs zombies! Yanno.. something.
-
If you like Christopher Moore, try tracking down Rock N Roll Babes From Outer Space by Linda Jaivin–it’s one of those pop-culture-humor based surreal goofy comedies, and all the main females are queer in one way or another. (The leader is heteroflexible, one is opportunistic, and one’s a butch rockergirl lesbian.)
-
OMG that’s awesome! I’ll look for it. Thanks!

Gerri Hill writes some good action; I liked “The Target,” and the first couple books of Radclyffe’s “Honor” series are good. If you want ninjas, I recommend “A Love Story: Starring My Dead Best Friend” by Emily Horner. I know it sounds rough, but it’s an amazing YA book. trust me.
I have lots of other teen books and mass-market lesbian…[Read more]

Awesome :) I haven’t read a young adult book since I was a young adult…does RL Stine still write? I used to love him!
-
Stine’s books are being repackaged…i’m not sure that’s the same thing. there’s a current trend in YA lit to reissue older series (l.J. Smith, Christopher Pike, etc.) in three-in-one omnibuses. if you like that type of story, however, i highly recommend lori stolarz’s “Project 17.”

The Great Library of Autostraddle 12 years, 5 months agoCan we talk about the amazingness that is a Kindle? I’ve developed an unhealthy attachment to mine. Like, I get anxiety if I forget to take it with me when I go somewhere, even if I won’t be able to read it. I have about 45 books on it right now. Does anyone else have one? (or a Nook, or a E-Reader)
-
Word. I’m in love with mine. I’ve got about 120 books on it, mostly thanks to Project Gutenberg. I live in Asia, so the Kindle is really my only means of purchasing English language books. I’d be dying out here without it(or more likely: using the Internet A LOT more). I can’t always find the books I want on it(JD Salinger, get your dead self up…[Read more]

A friend from Malaysia says that if you set your address to the States, you can purchase more books. (Because of liscensing whatnots)

This morning at work, I came out to the two girls I nanny. The parents already knew but I went to great effort to hide it from them thinking perhaps they were to young to understand/it’s the work place, etc. But my boss told me they’d never said anything about it and they wouldn’t care anyway.
So we were talking about giving and getting flowers…[Read more]

that’s hilarious. :) it’s awesome that the kids were cool (and kinda funny that now one probably thinks you stalk people).
