Autostraddle Summer Book Club 2011 12 years, 3 months agoOh another thing. I just left for summer work at a place where I can’t have many books, so can I just say that I read 97 pages of Beautiful Losers by Leonard Cohen and 56 pages of The Witch of Portobello by Paulo Cuelho. Both were good thus far, and I’ll finish them when I get back. When does “the summer” end for this, @internrachel, @julia1?

I also finished The Perks Of Being A Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky (117 pages) last week, which was so fucking adorable and so relevant to my life. The main character, Charlie, was nothing like me in most ways, but I think deep down most/all teenagers/young adults have the same feelings about some things. Also, the whole…[Read more] -

Just now I finished Wildwood Dancing by Juliet Marillier (400 pages). THIS BOOK WAS AWESOME! I literally could not stop reading it. I started it at about 11 am and it’s now 2 am. I didn’t even stop for meals; I ate while I read.
In Transylvania, there are five sisters raning in age from 16 to 5 years old. The book is…[Read more] -

Autostraddle Summer Book Club 2011 12 years, 3 months agoThis weekend I devoured Alice Echols’s Hot Stuff: Disco and the Remaking of American Culture (239 delightful pages). Echols is both an English and gender studies professor and a former DJ (at this amazing sounding but sadly long-defunct club in Ann Arbor called the Rubaiyat), so she has the requisite scholarly detachment…[Read more]

Autostraddle Summer Book Club 2011 12 years, 3 months agodear @internrachel and @julia1 and bookstraddlers,
This week I’ve read two fairly short, quick reads. The first was The Bean Trees by Barbara Kingsolver, 256 pages, which is about a young woman named Taylor who gets the hell out of her small Kentucky town as soon as she can and finds herself unexpectedly looking after an abandoned toddler who she…[Read more] -

Autostraddle Summer Book Club 2011 12 years, 3 months agoOkay, so I have a double-whammy for you, @internrachel, @julia1. I read a book, as well as listened to it.
I downloaded the audiobook of The Alchemist, by Paulo Cuelho a long time ago, when I was on a taking advantage of everything free on iTunes spree. I had never heard the title before and I didn’t really care to look at it. I remember…[Read more] -

I just finished reading Blind Faith by Sagarika Ghose (273 pages). I’m not quite sure what to think of it yet. I definitely wanted to like it more than I actually did, though. Which is not to say I DISliked it, I just…don’t know what to think yet.The story is about an Indian British woman named Mia who is devastated by…[Read more]

Autostraddle Summer Book Club 2011 12 years, 3 months agoI have a new favorite author: Vendela Vida. She’s fantastic! I love love love her books. I just finished “Let the Northern Lights Erase Your Name” (240 pages) and it was so great. I can’t really talk about it at all because I don’t want to give away the plot, but you (everyone) should go read it. I also read Caroll Spinney’s book “The Wisdom of…[Read more]

Autostraddle Summer Book Club 2011 12 years, 3 months agoOkay @internrachel, @julia1 I have about 6 books to put on here but I’ll do them one at a time.

Autostraddle Summer Book Club 2011 12 years, 3 months agoI just finished reading Fascinating Rhythm: The collaboration of George and Ira Gershwin, by Deena Rosenberg. It was, obviously, a biography about the Gershwin brothers! I loved this book, because while most of the books about Gershwin music focus predominately on Mr. George, this one meshed their two different stories together and how they…[Read more]
