Autostraddle Summer Book Club 2011 12 years, 4 months agohey, i just finished Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi, graphic novel, 340 pages.(@internrachel, @julia1)
I feel like it’s probably the most worthwhile graphic novel i’ve ever read. i can say for certain that i wouldn’t have been able to get the same sense of the environment from prose alone.
has anyone else read it? i’d love to talk about it-
Hi! It’s actually the only graphic novel I’ve read, a friend who is a big comic book/graphic novel fan got it for my birthday after hearing I liked the film. But yes, I liked it very much, thought I felt I enjoyed the first half more than the second (perhaps influenced by the film?) – but tell me what you think!
-
i’ve only read a couple other graphic novels, my ex was into them. I read Ariel Schrag’s series and Drinking at the movies by Julia Wertz (i recommend that one, not gay at all but great). But this has been by far my favorite. I love literature that is connected to history, it seems more real. I liked that she acknowledged thinking about all the…[Read more]

I read Persepolis just a couple months ago! My girlfriend is Persian, and she highly recommended it. I want to watch the animated film version, too, but I haven’t seen it yet.

Autostraddle Summer Book Club 2011 12 years, 4 months agodude, this is perfect! i’ve got a long commute and i have been rea-ding.
i just finished reading “still life: adventures in taxidermy” by melissa milgrom, 262 pgs. (@internrachel, @julia1). oh man, oh man, i really liked this book. i’ll preface by saying i really like taxidermy, i have a puffin head name beau and he’s the greatest, the north…[Read more]-
This sounds really interesting. I’ve always been fascinated by taxidermy, which may be odd for a vegetarian, but still. I definitely want to check out the book.
-
not strange at all! all the taxidermists in the book are major animal lovers and, though i eat meat, i really like animals too. i think there’s a lot of respect towards animals in taxidermy, read it read it!

Autostraddle Summer Book Club 2011 12 years, 4 months agoColumbine by Dave Cullen, 413 pg. (@internrachel, @julia1)
I just finished it this morning, and yeah, KIND OF A DOWNER. I may just top off with “We Need to Talk About Kevin” for the feeling of the most feelings you can feel at once, aka despair. But it seriously an awesome book, so well-researched, and it will probably make you cry. I learned lots…[Read more]-
oooh, I’ve been wanting to read that book! Glad to hear you enjoyed it.
-
i have read this. it’s hard but if anyone works with teens or has a teenager in their lives (or IS a teenager), you need to read it.
i saw it happen on live TV. i needed to know more, to try and find out “why.” this helped.
-
Like I mean, Cullen was definitely a little too free in assigning feelings that the killers may not have had (especially during the reconstruction of the shooting), but it’s clear from what they left behind that Klebold and Harris were very, very mentally ill. I think the most important part of the book was its portrayal of the media as an active…[Read more]
