Autostraddle Summer Book Club 2011 12 years, 4 months agoIf anyone’s into non -fiction try The Glass Castle. A poignant memoir, I was constantly surprised that I wasn’t reading a fictional narrative. Crazy stuff, lots of feelings, and well-written.

Autostraddle Summer Book Club 2011 12 years, 4 months agoI started “Persistence: All Ways Butch and Femme” yesterday (http://www.amazon.com/Persistence-All-Ways-Butch-Femme/dp/1551523973/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1307369650&sr=8-1). I saw it on a reading list on an AS article.

i bought this just after seeing it in an AS article. truly enjoyed it. the one that struck me the must was one that started with “having a baby is the butchest thing a woman can do” not sure if those are the exact words but the whole piece was beautiful … the letting my arm fall asleep so she’s comfortable or standing so she can sit part really…[Read more]

Autostraddle Summer Book Club 2011 12 years, 4 months agoI just finished reading The Westing Game and tonight I will read From the Mixed Up Files of Ms. Basil E. Frankweiler. Even though I am 22 years old, I never read either of these books as a kid and it is a SHAME.
I’m also reading My Mother She Killed Me, My Father He Ate Me which is a bunch of modernized fairy tales (the ones I’ve read so far have…[Read more]

The Westing Game and From the Mixed Up Files are SO. GOOD. They demand all caps. I started teaching elementary school kids a few months ago and have been rereading a lot of children’s literature. Those two are definitely at the top of my list. Claudia from Mixed Up Files and Harriet the Spy were my role models as a kid
-
omg! the mixed up files was one of my favorite books growing up. running away to a museum sounded awesome.
-
I read about My Mother She Killed Me… on NPR (I think?) a while ago and totally forgot the title! Thank you. I have been meaning to check it out.

Autostraddle Summer Book Club 2011 12 years, 4 months agoJust finished Kathleen Winters’ book Annabel, about an intersex child (Wayne) growing up in rural Labrador, in the 70’s/80’s.
-
I just finished it, as well. What did you think of how it ended? I feel like it was a little too unrealistic and short. A college campus being THAT welcoming and accepting of Wayne just doesn’t seem feasible. I’m sure it’d be a safer environment, but I feel like Kathleen would have made a more powerful ending by sticking with how difficult life…[Read more]
-
I don’t know…the ending did seem a bit sudden. I was expecting something more, but I’m not quite sure what. I was def hoping for a bit more of a resolution between Wayne and Wally, though.
