The Great Library of Autostraddle 12 years, 4 months agoi’ve just finished ‘delusions of gender’ by cordelia fine. i read ‘why so slow’ by virginia valian before
i can really recommend them both, very interesting reads, well backed by substantial scientific evidence. but also rather frustrating in ways when you realize how (subtly) misogynistic society/academia still is..any suggestions for further…[Read more]

If you’re interesting in feminism and sex, Jessica Valenti’s The Purity Myth (taking on the abstinence movement) and Ariel Levy’s Female Chauvinist Pigs: Women and the Rise of Raunch Culture are a good duo.
-
OMG Delusions of Gender was so good! I want to buy it for everybody now. If you haven’t read it I’d recommend Natalie Angier’s Woman: An Intimate Geography, a great science/sex/feminism read. Also Evolution’s Rainbow: Diversity, Gender, and Sexuality in Nature and People, by Joan Roughgarden.

Browncoats, Scoobies & other Whedonites 12 years, 4 months agoi am watching the angel series for the first time. first time. cordelia and angel – really? really? but i dont hate it which is strange. i heart fred.
-
Yes, yes, yes. I remember watching that storyline for the first time and being cool with it, and then thinking about their characters on Buffy and then going, “wait… CORDELIA and ANGEL??!! ”
Fred is the best. -
I really liked the idea of Cordelia/Angel more than the actual execution. I always thought they would (should) have been great together because they were also very good friends, whereas I never thought Buffy and Angel had a damn thing in common (other than the evil fighting) and I was never sure if they liked or even knew each other as people,…[Read more]

The Great Library of Autostraddle 12 years, 4 months agoJust finished reading Brick Lane by Monica Ali. Freaking amazing. No gayness unfortunately, but particularly good for anyone who’d like to know more about Bangladesh,London and immigration into the UK.

The Great Library of Autostraddle 12 years, 4 months agoJust finished my third Christopher Moore book in a row: Bloodsucking Fiends. I also started Tipping the Velvet awhile back. Any thoughts? It’s my first lesbian-related fiction book. Why do they all have to be romances though? I want action! I want excitement! Lesbian ninjas vs zombies! Yanno.. something.
-
If you like Christopher Moore, try tracking down Rock N Roll Babes From Outer Space by Linda Jaivin–it’s one of those pop-culture-humor based surreal goofy comedies, and all the main females are queer in one way or another. (The leader is heteroflexible, one is opportunistic, and one’s a butch rockergirl lesbian.)
-
OMG that’s awesome! I’ll look for it. Thanks!

-
Gerri Hill writes some good action; I liked “The Target,” and the first couple books of Radclyffe’s “Honor” series are good. If you want ninjas, I recommend “A Love Story: Starring My Dead Best Friend” by Emily Horner. I know it sounds rough, but it’s an amazing YA book. trust me.
I have lots of other teen books and mass-market lesbian…[Read more]

Awesome :) I haven’t read a young adult book since I was a young adult…does RL Stine still write? I used to love him!
-
Stine’s books are being repackaged…i’m not sure that’s the same thing. there’s a current trend in YA lit to reissue older series (l.J. Smith, Christopher Pike, etc.) in three-in-one omnibuses. if you like that type of story, however, i highly recommend lori stolarz’s “Project 17.”

The Great Library of Autostraddle 12 years, 4 months agoCan we talk about the amazingness that is a Kindle? I’ve developed an unhealthy attachment to mine. Like, I get anxiety if I forget to take it with me when I go somewhere, even if I won’t be able to read it. I have about 45 books on it right now. Does anyone else have one? (or a Nook, or a E-Reader)
-
Word. I’m in love with mine. I’ve got about 120 books on it, mostly thanks to Project Gutenberg. I live in Asia, so the Kindle is really my only means of purchasing English language books. I’d be dying out here without it(or more likely: using the Internet A LOT more). I can’t always find the books I want on it(JD Salinger, get your dead self up…[Read more]

A friend from Malaysia says that if you set your address to the States, you can purchase more books. (Because of liscensing whatnots)

Browncoats, Scoobies & other Whedonites 12 years, 4 months agoLast Friday I went to a midnight showing of Serenity at the art house theatre in St. Louis. I’ve already watched it online a billion times and I assume everyone else there had too. Throughout, I talked loudly about how hot all the women in the movie were. I thought it would be a thing. It wasn’t. I had fun anyway.

Browncoats, Scoobies & other Whedonites 12 years, 4 months agoI’ve been rereading the comics and came here to go on a rage about something, but I don’t want to spoil anything for Susanna, so I’ll just be vague and say this: the letters in issue #24 about issue #12 still make me SO ANGRY.

Browncoats, Scoobies & other Whedonites 12 years, 4 months agoLITERALLY was going through the groups thinking “if someone hasn’t made a Whedon group yet…it’s happening.” Thank you for beating me to the punch :)
P.S. Currently on volume 5 of Buffy season 8…anyone else’s mind positively blown??
