2006 Book List

Feb 07, 2006 19:32

So, 2005's library list wasn't quite as lovingly maintained as I could wish, but it's a start. Here's 2006's. This will supplement the Striped Binder of Doooom, where I really am trying to keep track of EVERYTHING I read, or want to read. Pause for hysterical laughter. Thank you ( Read more... )

1. Score! I re-read LeGuin often. And I appear to be reading half your list for my class on the Fairy Tale.

2. Dworkin? ... really? Because honestly, you should, but when I get together with the other radical crazy femini-terrorists, we never invite her to the tea-party. She's kind of extreme. But, um, in a world-changing way where you never want to actually offend her because she's your ancestor but really, do we have to?

3. I heartily recommend The Gift Of Fear as well, though I haven't gotten around to it ( ... )

how convenient, a numbered list! electricland February 8 2006, 02:50:57 UTC

1. Hurray! The Language of the Night is decidedly one of my all-time favourite books about books and writing.

2. Yeah, I know. But I read Germaine Greer and Susan Faludi and stuff in university and was too wimpy for Andrea Dworkin and I do figure I should at least know what it is I'm too wimpy for. I suppose I should read some Betty Friedan now too.

3. Will let you know how it goes...

4. The Other Sister, wasn't it? No, Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister. I liked that one all right, but it was dreary. I am not a fan of dreary, unless there's a reason for it ( ... )

Andrea Dworkin is a genius. Try her Online Library if you want a sample of her writing.
