Got into separatism pretty heavy until...The book by a collective named SAMOIS who published "Coming to Power" that caused a large rift between SM Leatherdykes and "mainstream" lesbian seps. Many Womyn's bookstores refusing to order any lesbian SM book titles. The two cities where I saw the largest engagement between the two factions were Albuquerque and Chicago. Other separatist authors of note and worth reading are Sarah Lucia Hoagland, Mary Daly, and Whittig among others. |
A Lie
A Memoir of Two Marriages, Catfishing, and Coming Out By William Dameron And I have 3 more titles on hold. One is number 98 out of 99. I'll be reading that one next year, lol. |
"Coming to Power" [SAMOIS] vs. Lesbian seps.

Please understand I have not read this book. Of course, I am vanilla - my empathy and sensitivity would preclude any involvement in SM. It was always so strong that even as a child, my parents would not mention to me any fact of anyone in the family who was sick or dying etc. since they were nervous about my reaction. I was always told afterwards, even years afterwards that someone had died. My parents were so dysfunctional... lol. Find it funny now. Just curious. Thanks just for reading this, and for your consideration, anyways always interesting to read your posts. |

A lot of sci-fi this week. Just finished these 2 (first via audio, second via print)
The Future of Another Timeline, By Annalee Newitz From Annalee Newitz, founding editor of io9, comes a story of time travel, murder, and the lengths we'll go to protect the ones we love.The Quiet War, By Paul Mcauley Twenty-third century Earth, ravaged by climate change, looks backwards to the holy ideal of a pre-industrial Eden. Political power has been grabbed by a few powerful families and their green saints. Millions of people are imprisoned in teeming cities; millions more labour on Pharaonic projects to rebuild ruined ecosystems. On the moons of Jupiter and Saturn, the Outers, descendants of refugees from Earth's repressive regimes, have constructed a wild variety of self-sufficient cities and settlements: scientific utopias crammed with exuberant creations of the genetic arts; the last outposts of every kind of democratic tradition. |
In the middle of Stephen King's "The Outsider"
Finished his "Elevate" and "The Institute" these last two weeks. Next is the free one I received for being a Amazon Prime member - Janelle Harris "Under Lying" |

For many years i was a snob about genre fiction and horror fiction especially, but King is finding whole new generations of readers now and everything you read about him as a person is just so wonderful. I may read a whole bunch more! |

Before I go see Edward Norton's movie Motherless Brooklyn, I am going to read a 1974 classic biography written by Robert Caro: The Power Broker: Robert Moses and the Fall of New York.
It's biographic account of Robert Moses' life and how his prejudice toward people of color was baked into the fabric of structure of bridges and road ways of the surrounding NYC area. It's an period piece which examines how corruption can harm cities. I am on the wait list for the book and hope to read it soon. |

Am reading about colorism around the world (part of the Shades of Black series) at The Guardian found at this link: https://www.theguardian.com/membersh...ies-race-issue. The series is very good
Unlike mainstream media outlets in the states, The Guardian has articles on race and its effect everyday. https://www.theguardian.com/world/race. Lucky me to have stumbled on it. |
Native Realm: A Search for Self Definition (Czéslaw Milösz, 1911-2004)
https://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images...2;osz--010.jpg
Here's a book review of Native Realm: A Search for Self Definition (1968) tendered by The Guardian (LINK). |
I usually don't have a big stack. In fact I can't understand people who are constantly reading 8 books or something. I usually have A book. It's MY book. If I misplace it, there's panic. It's like an essential item of comfort and security until I'm finished. Then it's just a book again. That said, I have a stack right now.

Another book on Reese Witherspoon's book club
The Other Woman....Sandie Jones I won't copy and paste any reviews, just this little blimp: Fiendishly twisty psychological thriller about a man, his new girlfriend, and the mother who will never let him go. |
I'd posted somewhere about.......
..
One Walk in Winter by Georgia Beers Completely lesbian romance fluff but just what I was in the mood for.... SPOILER......... And of course yes she gets the girls....... |
The miseducation of cameron post
This book was recommended by either kris Bryant or Dyking Out.
But what a book. You get so absorbed in it. A truly remarkable story that is part based on true events. The film however is one of the worst film adaptions i have ever had the misfortune to watch. Unlike the book where you connect profoundly with cameron. The film doesn't manage to achieve whats so ever. Just stick with the book. Its s real gem |
Since Christmas i have read four novels by Blake Crouch: Recursion as well as the Wayward Pines trilogy.
Highly recommended for just being absorbing as heck |
