i've been reading a lot lately, and since i've been awful at goodreads, i thought i'd share:
i liked his earlier book, complications, so i decided to pick this up. he's an incredible writer. sometimes i don't care about the complexity of the polio immunizations in india, so i skip around. it's definitely a good read.
a tiny icon for a very good book! this is a collection of essays by all ages, shapes, sizes and colors of radical women (i.e. michelle tea, diane diprima, kim gordon, kate bornstein, jenny shimizu). though it is categorized under beauty and fashion, these essays end up being about very deep and meaningful things in women's identities. it sounded like a natural read for me, so i picked it up at the sister spit show. it's simultaneously hilarious, insightful, angering and beautiful. such an added bonus that you can pick it up as often as you want to and be entertained by all different kinds of stories. i so very recommend it.
i just ordered this from powells: autobiography of a blue eyed devil: my life and times in a racist, imperialist society by inga muscio. i've heard good things about it, and i really like her style of writing. i'm looking forward to digging in to this one.
