Autostraddle Summer Book Club 2011 12 years, 3 months ago@internrachel & @julia1 I am happy to say tat i am enjoying Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone. So much that i’m reading pretty slow to get all of the details, only on page 194 of 309. And everyone is right when they say that the book is way better than the movie! i will finish the book tomorrow, that much i know.

Autostraddle Summer Book Club 2011 12 years, 3 months agoI’d never read Rubyfruit Jungle (246 pages) by Rita Mae Brown and when I saw it mentioned in an article here I went to my local library and promptly read it in a night. It was kind of a refresher for me on the lack of women’s rights and bigotry in the 60’s. The main character, Molly and her fellow cast gave a face to the oppression of women, which…[Read more]

Autostraddle Summer Book Club 2011 12 years, 3 months agoJust finished reading the copy of Haruki Murakami’s new novel After Dark that I found at the library. This books made me feel lots of feelings — not as many feelings as Kafka on the Shore did, but still tingly, creepy feelings, one instance of almost-crying feelings, some chuckles, some rage, and, ultimately, feelings of warmth and love.…[Read more]

Just now I finished a very good book called Bad Girls of Japan eds. Laura Miller and Jan Bardsley (240 pages).
I’ve had this in ebook form on my laptop for so long I forget how I got it or why. A few nights ago I was cleaning out some old files and came across it and decided to read it for a bit and I’m glad I did!It’s a…[Read more]

Autostraddle Summer Book Club 2011 12 years, 3 months agoHi guys! So I just finished Brett Easton Ellis’ Less Than Zero, 208 pages.
I totally thought that all of the hype about it being “disturbing” or really in any way exceptional or exceptionable was mostly bull until somewhere around the last fifty pages. At first it really just seemed like another “drug novel” or “book that’s…[Read more]

OK so I read another GRAPHIC NOVEL… “The Essential Dykes To Watch Out For” by Alison Bechdel, and that’s 416 pages. Or 208 in comic years. Anywhat.
I remember being a little baby gay, and in high school my also queer best friend and I would always be on the lookout for the free gay weekly newspapers that would sometimes…[Read more] -

Autostraddle Summer Book Club 2011 12 years, 3 months ago@internrachel @julia1 So I finished Fingersmith (582 pages) a couple of days ago and I’ve been trying to think of what I could possibly say besides “Holy shit!” which is what I said about 500 times while reading this. I don’t want to say anything more because I don’t want to spoil it but it’s pretty much flawless and will keep you up all night (in…[Read more]

The Great Library of Autostraddle 12 years, 3 months agoYou guys. Autostraddle book clubs are fun and all, but I really want to find an awesome book group IRL. Anyone know of a lesbo book group in Brooklyn or NYC area that’s open to new members?

Autostraddle Summer Book Club 2011 12 years, 3 months ago@internrachel @julia1 I read The IHOP Papers because I am behind the times like that and my hold at the library took a long long time. This book made me feel ok about my life being sort of a mess and but it also made me frustrated that I can’t save $5000. I hated Irene so much but I also totally get what it’s like to be infatuated with the idea of…[Read more]

Autostraddle Summer Book Club 2011 12 years, 3 months agoUpon my overly pro-lesbian mother, I read “What It’s Like to Live Now” by Meredith Maran. Through 335 pages, she basically comes to realization and understanding in her life and faces the fact that she can’t control and change everything she’d like to in the world. Despite the sometimes scary accounts of breast cancer, aids, shootings, etc, the…[Read more]
