Lesbrarians 12 years, 5 months agoDon’t trust the one Amazon review–this is an excellent bio of one of the big names of lesbrarianism and the mother of queer studies: http://www.amazon.com/Sex-Variant-Woman-Jeanette-Howard/dp/0786718226 (All the academia is interspersed with her torrid love affairs, so there are #feelings in abundance)

The Great Library of Autostraddle 12 years, 5 months agoRay Bradbury’s Zen and the Art of Writing is on the top of the massive pile. When I say massive, I mean like 30+ books. It’s a big nightstand. And a perilous pile.

The Great Library of Autostraddle 12 years, 5 months agoI was in The Book People in Moscow, ID (which is closing! Boo!) today and found a copy of Catherynne Valente’s ‘A Guide to Folk Tales in Fragile Dialects’ and I damn near orgasmed in the store. All you Pure Poetry lovers need to get this! She does such tasty things to words.

The Great Library of Autostraddle 12 years, 5 months agoi just started reading ‘the god of small things’ by arundhati roy, anyone have any thoughts about it? all i can think as an appreciater of salman rushdie is that no one can out-rushdie rushdie.

I ended up really disliking that book, but I don’t want to spoil it by telling you why! The language is pretty, but it didn’t feel like the best I’ve ever experienced, either. It’s one of my bestie’s favorite books, so I went into it with high hopes.

i TRIED to read it, but failed miserably.

I LOVE that book. I must have read it several times now, mostly because I studied it for English A-level. Sad as hell though.
But I always thought that if they made a film of it, Rahel would be *stunning*
I think it’s the type of book that needs to be read more than once, so you can understand it properly.
-
ok so i finished it. overall i thought it was average, i don’t know that it deserved a booker prize, that’s for sure.

One night, I went to Kathleen Hanna’s office to troubleshoot their WordPress blog with Kate.
We may or may not have run around the office giggling and touching everything. I may or may not have touched the original Riot Grrl cabinet.
