The Great Library of Autostraddle 11 years, 10 months agoYou guys, I just finished Middlesex and why didn’t anyone tell me it was so good???
-
He just wrote a new book. It’s supposed to be ammaaaaazing
-
I’ve heard. It is definitely on my to-read list. I loved The Virgin Suicides and now Middlesex so It’s likely I’ll feel the same way about The Marriage Plot. Hopefully, anyway.
-
I loved Middlesex but I thought The Marriage Plot was meh. But you probably already know what I think about it since I wrote a review about it for this site lol.

The Great Library of Autostraddle 11 years, 10 months agoI just finished reading Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Jonathan Franzen and it was so good. Imaginative, a really sweet/funny narrator, and cleverly written and designed. It’s a bittersweet story about fathers and 9/11 and being a child in a big city.

hey isn’t that Jonathan Safran Foer? I loved that book! Have you read Everything is Illuminated?
-
ha yep got the name wrong!. Sorry Jonathan! I just loved the book. I haven’t read Everything is Illuminated yet, but it’s on my list.
-
-
Oh my goodness, I’m reading this right now and I’m in love with it! It’s already made me cry a few times. And Everything is Illuminated is super good – I’ve been making all my friends read it, haha. Jonathan Safran Foer is seriously talented.

The Great Library of Autostraddle 11 years, 10 months agoDIRT: The Quirks, Habits, and Passions of Keeping House is a collection of essays edited by Mindy Lewis about peoples’ (mostly women’s) relationships with dirt/cleaning. Some of the essays are funny, some are more poignant, and some of them exactly describe my feelings about grime. Also, I think you are guaranteed to find at least one essay that…[Read more]

The Great Library of Autostraddle 11 years, 10 months agoI’ve finished a lot of books this week!
I just finished ‘The Elegance of the Hedgehog’ by Muriel Barbery today. This was among my prizes for coming in second in the Autostraddle summer book club and I lucked out! It was very good. A very solitary concierge in a building full of very rich people works hard to present an image of stupidity and…[Read more]

Kinky Straddlers 11 years, 10 months agoHey Straddlers! The latest NSFW Lesbosexy Friday post reminded me to ask y’all: I’ve just started a D/s relationship as a sub and I’ve never done D/s before. It’s more service and sensation-oriented than pain or humiliation-based (neither do anything for me :P) and I’ve been trying to look for resources on being a great sub – or hell just D/s…[Read more]

The Great Library of Autostraddle 11 years, 10 months agoI just finished rereading A Great and Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray, and I can’t wait to get my hands on the second and third book in the trilogy- can’t believe I never finished it!
Also just read Less Than Zero by Brett Easton Ellis and I basically want to read everything he has written ever! -

The Great Library of Autostraddle 11 years, 10 months agoI just finished The Last Man by Mary Shelley. Apocalyptic fiction is great! The book was mostly about how future England would deal with plague. [Side note: Mary Shelley did not spend a lot of time dreaming about what the future would be like. In another 80 years, we’re going to be right back in 19th century England.] I was more interested in how…[Read more]

The Great Library of Autostraddle 11 years, 11 months agoI’ve been busy reading in the past few days! Here’s what I’ve finished recently:
‘Reality Bites Back: The Troubling Truth About Guilty Pleasure TV’ by Jennifer Pozner – It’s a hilariously snarky, but serious academic take down of reality TV and it’s regressive, offensive ideas about women, people of color, and the poor. It’s putting into words…[Read more]
