i'm trying to decide which other book i want to read next, now that i've finished the wolves of mercy falls trilogy. maybe madness by marya hornbacher. her book wasted is one of my favorites...it's been a constant companion for most of my life.

"Wasted"...is one of my favorite books, as well.

Currently, I'm reading "What Becomes of the Broken Hearted?" by Alan Duff.

Female to Male (FTM) in Film Narrative: Gender Passing and the Re-Creation of Brandon Teena

now that is a heady title and yes it is my dissertation aka manuscript, I'm rereading it to see where I can cut/enhance/proof (again):reader: before sending it to a publisher. Basically it revolves around how the media co-opts BT for their own agendas. As well as a discussion of who has the right to speak for the Trans community. I cover FTM films up to Albert Nobbs (which I haven't seen yet, waiting for the dvd) and will add it to my manuscript. :writer:

Talon and aisah,

I'm a fan of Marya Hornbacher too.

I loved Wasted and Madness was good too :)

I read almost entirely nonfiction and love dysfunctional, passionate memoirs that are written well, of course!

I've been reading forum threads on the message boards here
and reading from several books lately: yesterday, a co-worker gave
me a book and it is quite interesting, actually.

The Mammoth Book of Unsolved Crimes
Edited by: Roger Wilkes (1999: London, England)


I'm not reading any particular story in order presented within this book.
I am currently reading: Murder Hath Charms (pp. 540-551).

In particular, I appreciate the introduction penned by Editor Wilkes.
Definately a must-read for those of you out there that appreciate this type of subject of interest.

brain cells
 
I finished Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit, this after reading Fifty Shades of Grey. It was a bit like losing hundreds of brain cells, then gaining them all back.

Now I'm reading Let's Pretend This Never Happened: (A Mostly True Memoir) by Jenny Lawson. I hope my brain cell regeneration continues, but that might be too much to ask from a book with a stuffed mouse wearing a cape and ruff on its cover.

Maybe the mouse is practicing his Shakespeare.

Let us know what you think of Let's Pretend, very mixed reviews on Amazon.

Just finished "Seven Up" in the Stephanie Plum series (Janet Evanovich)

Just bout half way through "Dance Macabre" in the Anita Blake series (Laurell K. Hamilton)

And both series of books were recommended by my beautiful lady (f) Thank you so much I am really enjoying them.

I'm on the fourth audio book of "Tales Of The Otori" which is "Harsh Cry Of The Heron". I've listened to books 1-3 and really love it. Very atmospheric writing that I love. The author is Lian Hearn.

aishah 05-21-2012 07:51 PM
solerna by anna schubarth - she's a friend of a friend and she self-published this book and it's really quite good :) it's sci-fi with a bit of a pagan twist. you can get it on kindle.

femmedyke 05-22-2012 02:56 PM
Since my last check in I've read a few more books including: Insurgent, the sequel to Divergent, The Scourge, Outside and The Witch Who Made Adjustments.

That last one was a small fluff book that was just cute and fun.

I'm now beginning Wool (books 1-5) by Hugh Howey and tinkering around Bombshells by T. Elliott Brown and Live Organic (52 Brilliant Ideas) by Lynn Huggins-Cooper.

I adore my Kindle Fire and though I have a small library would love to open it up for those who may want to borrow anything (and vice versa?)

The Buddha in the attic / Julie Otsuka.

Presents the stories of six Japanese mail-order brides whose new lives in early twentieth-century San Francisco are marked by backbreaking migrant work, cultural struggles, children who reject their heritage, and the prospect of wartime internment.
