Autostraddle Summer Book Club 2011 12 years, 4 months agoJust wrapped up Burning in Water, Drowning in Flame by Charles Bukowski. which is a 232 page book of selected poems from the years 1955-1973. Some of what Bukowski writes is problematic, but I was impressed by how accessible and relatable he is when he talks about the profane, every day things. I think ”out of the arms…” is one of the most spot…[Read more]

Autostraddle Summer Book Club 2011 12 years, 4 months agohey, i just finished Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi, graphic novel, 340 pages.(@internrachel, @julia1)
I feel like it’s probably the most worthwhile graphic novel i’ve ever read. i can say for certain that i wouldn’t have been able to get the same sense of the environment from prose alone.
has anyone else read it? i’d love to talk about it-
Hi! It’s actually the only graphic novel I’ve read, a friend who is a big comic book/graphic novel fan got it for my birthday after hearing I liked the film. But yes, I liked it very much, thought I felt I enjoyed the first half more than the second (perhaps influenced by the film?) – but tell me what you think!
-
i’ve only read a couple other graphic novels, my ex was into them. I read Ariel Schrag’s series and Drinking at the movies by Julia Wertz (i recommend that one, not gay at all but great). But this has been by far my favorite. I love literature that is connected to history, it seems more real. I liked that she acknowledged thinking about all the…[Read more]

I read Persepolis just a couple months ago! My girlfriend is Persian, and she highly recommended it. I want to watch the animated film version, too, but I haven’t seen it yet.

Autostraddle Summer Book Club 2011 12 years, 4 months agodude, this is perfect! i’ve got a long commute and i have been rea-ding.
i just finished reading “still life: adventures in taxidermy” by melissa milgrom, 262 pgs. (@internrachel, @julia1). oh man, oh man, i really liked this book. i’ll preface by saying i really like taxidermy, i have a puffin head name beau and he’s the greatest, the north…[Read more]-
This sounds really interesting. I’ve always been fascinated by taxidermy, which may be odd for a vegetarian, but still. I definitely want to check out the book.
-
not strange at all! all the taxidermists in the book are major animal lovers and, though i eat meat, i really like animals too. i think there’s a lot of respect towards animals in taxidermy, read it read it!
