What are you currently reading?
This list is a bit shorter, finally. Still going on Sunny Chernobyl; have listened to a few more audio recordings from Charles Perrault's fairy tales - did I mention that Litteratureaudio.com is my new friend? Sadly there's very little on there that I've already read in English, and I'm not quite up to unseen novel-length French texts. But the Perrault tales are short and easily digestible.
I just started The autobiography of Alice B. Toklas, which is not an autobiography, since it happily proclaims to have been written by Gertrude Stein. It's enjoyable reading, but I'm not sure how to feel about the false-autobiography setup. If this was a man writing the "autobiography" of his wife we would all agree that was creepy and silencing of women, no?
What did you recently finish reading?
I Don't: A Christmas Wish by Kari Gregg
My rating: 2 of 5 stars
Well, this was *fun*, but... ( eh. )
Muriel at Metropolitan by Miriam Tlali
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
( Odd but enjoyable book )
The Vicar Of Bullhampton by Anthony Trollope
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Now, this was an interesting read. ( difficult to pin down or sum up )
Hateship, Friendship, Courtship, Loveship, Marriage: Stories by Alice Munro
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I really liked Munro's style here. ( Also the paper it was printed on was lovely )
Bisexuality: A Critical Reader by Merl Storr
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
( Interesting, useful, difficult )
What Will You Read Next?
Oh gosh, I don't know at this point. I have some more queer books on order, including a book on bisexual feminism, so it might be those. Or it might be something totally else.
