Autostraddle Sports Club 12 years, 2 months agoFor the seventh straight year, Maria Sharapova was the world’s highest paid female athlete. Since July 1, 2010, she banked a staggering $25 million in tournament prize money, salaries, appearance fees, licensing income and endorsements, according to Forbes. In all, seven of the top 10 highest paid female athletes are tennis players. Sharapova, W…[Read more]

I am book bingeing and it is delicious.GenderQueer: Voices From Beyond the Sexual Binary, ed. Joan Nestle, Riki Wilchins, & Clare Howell (297 pp).
This is a pile of essays about gender angst, gender joy, and gender fucking. Also sometimes just fucking. Nestle promises us in the introduction that this anthology will point…[Read more] -

Moar books. A while ago now, I finished SlaughterHouse Five (176). I guess a lot of people have read it, but for anyone who hasn’t/is interested, this is about Billy Pilgrim, a man who was a POW in WWII and also a time-traveller, unable to control his coming unstuck in time. I like the way the narrative jumps around in t…[Read more] -

Autostraddle Summer Book Club 2011 12 years, 2 months agoToday I read Buffy the Vampire Slayer Omnibus #3 (302 pages, 151 in Book Club Pages). Volume #2 was already checked out from the library, so I just skipped to the next one.
Because these comics were collected and reprinted in the order in which the stories take place in-‘verse rather than chronological publishing order,…[Read more]

Autostraddle Summer Book Club 2011 12 years, 2 months agoToday I read Buffy the Vampire Slayer Omnibus #1 (312 pages, so 156 in Book Club Pages).
This is the first volume in the complete collection of the Buffy comics that they had going while the show was still airing. I love Buffy and I love comics, so I don’t know why I haven’t read these before. They were having a used book…[Read more]

Autostraddle Summer Book Club 2011 12 years, 2 months agoI just read Sure of You by Armistead Maupin (262 pages) over the past couple days. Possible spoiler alert: I feel like the characters were generally a little different here – Michael less into Gay Politics (compared to his lover), Mary Ann more selfish, D’orothea… since when does she want/need to open a restaurant? Also… was this really going…[Read more]

I’m probably the last person on Autostraddle to read Eileen Myles’ Inferno (271 pgs), so I won’t bother going in to the details of what the book’s about.
I probably should have been tipped off by the subtitle (“A Poet’s Novel”) that this wasn’t going to be an ordinary book, but I guess I wasn’t paying attention, because I…[Read more]-
“Then I read the section of the book where she talks about how stupid it is that people want poems to ”make sense,” and I felt stupid for wanting her book to make more sense.”
Ooh, I don’t think I should read this book then. I think I be frustrated and confused by this book too. And then I would get mad when I got to that part you men…[Read more]

Autostraddle Summer Book Club 2011 12 years, 2 months agoI finished Wolfskin by Juliet Marillier (544 pages).
I was going to read the final Vampire Diaries book, but my mom gave me this yesterday because she knows how much I like Marillier’s books. This one is about Eyvind, a young viking man from Norway, who grew up with and became blood brothers with a strange boy named…[Read more]

Autostraddle Summer Book Club 2011 12 years, 2 months agoI actually got around to reading Valencia by Michelle Tea (202 pages)! I’ve been meaning to read this for a long time but no library around me had it so I finally just bought it. I have to say that I don’t really like informal writing or stories that involve lots of drugs. I know. It’s just not for me. It is a memoir and not idealized or…[Read more]

Autostraddle Summer Book Club 2011 12 years, 2 months ago@internrachel and @julia1 Finally finished Julie Burchill’s Sugar Rush last night – it’s 208 pages. It’s a teen book but was also very graphic at some pointd in terms of its language. I’ve only seen a couple of episodes of the TV show but as far as I can tell it’s a bit different.
Kim moves from her posh school to the local ‘scuzzy’ school where…[Read more]-
I read that when I was about 14 (13?), I think that’s about the age you can actually enjoy it at.
Sugar’s a weird character if ever there was one, so is Kim’s mother. Burchill says she only wrote it in 10 afternoons and it shows.
It surprises me that Julie Burchill writes for a respectable newspaper like the Independent. Maybe I’m being unfair…[Read more]
