Autostraddle Summer Book Club 2011 12 years, 3 months ago@internrachel @julia1 So I finished Fingersmith (582 pages) a couple of days ago and I’ve been trying to think of what I could possibly say besides “Holy shit!” which is what I said about 500 times while reading this. I don’t want to say anything more because I don’t want to spoil it but it’s pretty much flawless and will keep you up all night (in…[Read more]

Harry Potter Appreciation Society 12 years, 3 months agoAny HP roleplayers here?
-
Oh man, I used to roleplay in high school. Haven’t done in years though. It was fun, although I was always very slow at it so I never got very far.
-
I’m on a roleplaying group on Gaia (yeah, judge me) and it’s really fun – especially if your characters are Slytherins. Since it basically gives you an excuse to be a major asshole to everybody else.

Autostraddle Summer Book Club 2011 12 years, 3 months ago@internrachel @julia1 I read The IHOP Papers because I am behind the times like that and my hold at the library took a long long time. This book made me feel ok about my life being sort of a mess and but it also made me frustrated that I can’t save $5000. I hated Irene so much but I also totally get what it’s like to be infatuated with the idea of…[Read more]

Autostraddle Summer Book Club 2011 12 years, 3 months agoUpon my overly pro-lesbian mother, I read “What It’s Like to Live Now” by Meredith Maran. Through 335 pages, she basically comes to realization and understanding in her life and faces the fact that she can’t control and change everything she’d like to in the world. Despite the sometimes scary accounts of breast cancer, aids, shootings, etc, the…[Read more]

Autostraddle Summer Book Club 2011 12 years, 3 months ago@internrachel @julia1 Today I finished reading “Lies That Chelsea Handler Told Me.” It’s supposed to be a collection of hilarious things that happens when Chelsea lies to people, but not every chapter (especially towards the end) was entertaining. I could tell when a contributor had never really written because they just went on and on about…[Read more]

Autostraddle Summer Book Club 2011 12 years, 3 months agoI finished reading breakers passion. Just a hot steamy book. I have a think for older women so the whole time while reading breakers passion its like i am reading my own fantasy about a woman who is lost in love while on vacation in Hawaii. This book is just about letting go of everything. Life, work, and the past and just being in the present and…[Read more]

Autostraddle Summer Book Club 2011 12 years, 3 months agoI finished two books this week. ”The Piano Teacher” by Janice Y.K. Lee (326 pages) took place in Hong Kong between 1941 and 1951. The book followed one man and his involvement with two different women- one affair during the war and one affair after. The stories of the two affairs intertwined in a somewhat shocking and very dramatic way. The nov…[Read more]

Nature’s Museums: Victorian Science and the Architecture of Display by Carla Yanni, 199 pgs. This was a totally pleasant, quick read focusing on institutions of natural history built in the UK from 1830-1890’s with a little about modern natural history…[Read more]

Well, I wasn’t too wide of the mark with my ‘shiny new interactive online Harry P world!! We were all gathered around the comp at work at midday in eager anticipation!
Thoughts/feelings – pretty intrigued! I wonder how the first ‘lucky ones’ get to help put the final touches to the site? Also still a bit confused as to how much interaction we…[Read more] -
Yeah the leaked pics on Leaky Cauldron make it look like a Harry Potter MMPORG. I am so excited. Anyone else submitted their e-mail to be one of the early people?
-
I know! I am really excited as well. I definitely submitted my e-mail address.
Also, I have been hearing that the 8th movie is over 4 hours long?! And that there is going to be an intermission? This could be complete codswallop, but a few people have mentioned this to me separately.

I just finished Tina Fey’s Bossypants! It was 275 pages. As expected, it was really funny. I really liked how she talked about sexism–I feel like she was able to be frank and feminist while still sounding relatable. Like, it didn’t sound academic or super political (which…[Read more]

Autostraddle Summer Book Club 2011 12 years, 3 months agoI read The Return of the Native (406 pages) by Thomas Hardy and it was really pretty good. In general I’m a fan of Thomas Hardy. As my mother says, it’s a change from all the metaphors about abusing women/mental illness in the entire rest of English literature (I paraphrase.)
But seriously, Hardy is a poetic dude. The Return of the Native takes…[Read more] - Load More
