Insufficient stimulus?

Dec 05, 2016 20:14


Only dipping my toes into FB and Twitter of late. Not sure if this is the reason I do not find so many things that trigger off into DW posts, or whether, no, I'm just in a meh frame of mind.
Or maybe it's just that my attention is Elsewhere (Elsewhen?).
The meh frame of mind theory gets some support from having come across a list of 60 books by women to read to redress the balance of lists that are oppressively overwhelmingly books by blokes (but would that include top crime novels???) - that I would be a lot happier with if it didn't say 'Best' and if it wasn't quite so heavily geared towards C20th litficcy litfic, and includes a very weird pick from Margaret Drabble's oeuvre and no Byatt, among other what I would consider egregious omissions.
But I'm sure I could be rantier about it at greater length in other moods.
De gustibus, etc. But 60 Books Particular Person Thinks Are Worth Reading =/= Best Evah. This entry was originally posted at http://oursin.dreamwidth.org/2536526.html. Please comment there using OpenID. View
