The Great Library of Autostraddle 12 years, 4 months agoUm. I just read Ghost World. Next I’m reading a big thick book of Woody Allen comic strips. I know his personal life is insane, but he’s one of my favorites.
-
I love Ghost World! The movie is wonderful as well but different from the graphic novel.
-
I saw the movie years ago and am just now reading the comics. Even though they’re very different, I love both!
-
-
You don’t have to apologize for liking Woody Allen’s work. Or at least, I would have to apologize right with you. Annie Hall is my favorite movie ever and a bunch of his other films are right behind.
-
My favorite is sometimes Stardust Memories, and other times Annie Hall. I am obsessed with his movies.

The Great Library of Autostraddle 12 years, 4 months agoI just picked up Inferno by Eileen Myles. Has anyone read it? I’m pretty excited, it has review blurbs on the back from John Waters and Alison Bechdel.
-
I haven’t read it yet, but Autostraddle did it for the first “Reading a F*cking Book Club,” which seems like a pretty good endorsement to me. I’ve been thinking about bumping it up to next on my reading list.
-
Oh jeez, I should have checked there first! I’m really enjoying it so far, I’m excited to read what the article says when I’m finished.

-
I read that for the AS book club, it is so good.

The Great Library of Autostraddle 12 years, 4 months agoCurrently I’m reading “Breaking Dawn” because after a year of graduate school I needed something mindless. Next up is “Girls to the Front” to make up for my indiscretions.
-
Girls to the Front is so good, although I feel kind of guilty reading that some of the characterizations were problematic….
-
yeah, after reading it i’m feeling ambivalent towards the riot grrrl movement. i’m always going to love the music, its only ever been tied to me feeling empowered and generally great (grrreat?). a lot of the writing felt apologetic and biased in favor of the movement, which really annoys me. bias is only okay to me if the books is in first-person.…[Read more]
-
If you would like a fuller picture of 90s grrrl politics, may I recommend A Girl’s Guide to Taking Over the World? It’s a zine anthology with a ton of the big names, but the political and social spectrum is much wider than what was well-known in the “mainstream” riot grrrl community. It’s outta print, but cheap used and maybe you can interlibrary…[Read more]

oh cool, thanks! the ‘zines were one of the most interesting parts of ‘girls to the front’ and just a little before my time, i’m totally going to look into this!

The Great Library of Autostraddle 12 years, 4 months agoI’m reading “How to Say Goodbye in Robot” right now on my kindle but the book literally on my nightstand is “The Book of Useless Information: Thousands of things you didn’t think you needed to know…and probably don’t.”

The Great Library of Autostraddle 12 years, 4 months agoAccording to her blog, Catherynne Valente’s new book ‘The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making’ debuted at number 8 on the NY Times Best Seller List! It totally deserves it too; it’s awesome. You should totally click on Autostraddle’s Amazon link and buy it!
Thank goodness she’s so insanely prolific. I’m totally…[Read more] -
