The Great Library of Autostraddle 12 years, 5 months ago“The Hours” by Michael Cunningham — it’s a rewriting of Virginia Woolf’s Mrs Dalloway, and once I got over my initial feeling that it was sacrilegious to attempt to copy the perfection that is Woolf, I really enjoyed it. It is Autostraddle-relevant because it has been rewritten around the AIDs epidemic in New York in the 1980s, whereas in “Mrs…[Read more]

The Great Library of Autostraddle 12 years, 5 months agoReading George Elliott (a female author who wrote under a mans name for sexism purposes). She’s so, so great.
-
I completely adore George Eliot. Have you read “Romola” or “Silias Marner”? They are both excellent and less well known than “Middlemarch” or “The Mill on the Floss.”
-
I haven’t personally, but only because I haven’t had time yet. Silas Mather was an option for an outside reading project in English recently…
-
That’s the problem about great books — there’s never enough time to read all of them.

The Great Library of Autostraddle 12 years, 5 months agoAlright, I generally find myself opposed to reading books once they start to become big mainstream hits and turned into movies and stuff just because I’m weird like that. However, I recently finished reading Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen and it was so, so good. I couldn’t put it down. Unless you just randomly know a lot about the circus, the…[Read more]

I read Water for Elephants when it first was published, and I really liked it. I think I’ll pass on the movie though- the last movie I saw with Reese Witherspoon in it made me never want to watch another one of her films ever again!
-
I’m afraid of all the Twilighters following Robert Pattinson around. I might watch it once it hits DVD. It depends on reviews I guess, because I hate seeing movies that don’t do the books justice.
-
Good god, twilight fangirls. I forgot. I was going to go see it in theatres after I read the book, now I’ll probably just illegally download it.
-
Now, I can say from experience that going with a friend who also hates twilight fangirls and then making fun of them together during the movie can be a pretty good defense.

The Great Library of Autostraddle 12 years, 5 months agoIsland of the Sequined Love Nun by Christopher Moore, my second of his books. He’s fantastic.
-
I looove Christopher Moore. I just finished Lust Lizard of Melancholy Cove and Coyote Blue. I think the only one I haven’t read yet is Fluke. I think my favorite is Fool, followed by You Suck (Abby Normal is an awesome character). I try not to read his books in any sort of public setting because I’m always getting weird looks from people as I…[Read more]

Oh man, I just finished Fool. I really, really loved it!
