Are you familiar with Joan Nestle's The Persistent Desire? How do you think the two match up?

This book, "Deep Survival: Who Lives, Who Dies, and Why," was written in a similar style to what you described. I just love these types of books, and strongly recommend this one.

Yes, I have read The Persistent Desire. I have got to tell you my Joan Nestle story. Back in the 80's Joan came through Los Angeles. My ex-girlfriend was the founder of the Lesbian Writers Series in Los Angeles. This is how I got to meet Joan. Joan wanted to see Disneyland and I was the butch that got to escort her to Disneyland. I got to hear much of the BF herstory that day and during her visit. This is a memory that I hold dear to my butch heart. As for the book editied by Ivan and Zena, Joan Nestle wrote the forwardfor the book. Does it match up? I am enjoying reading the stories. I will say it is pleasant to read the stories about Butches and Femmes that from other countries besides the States. I will keep your question in mind as I continue to read the book and try to come back and give a fuller answer to the question. Thanks.

Numerology and the Divine Triangle by Javane Faith. She has some interesting insights that I am enjoying.

Some locals have formed an impromptu reading group to read the Man Booker shortlist
http://www.themanbookerprize.com/news/stories/1533 http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/gall...11-in-pictures rather ambitiously they've set two books for next week (I'm unlikely to have time to read both) but I've just sent these two to my kindle. 'Pigeon English' by Stephen Kelman and 'Snowdrops' by A.D. Miller

Just finished "The Sociopath Next Door" non fiction. scarier than fiction.
4% of the population or 1 in 25 people, have no conscience. look around the room right now and see if you can pick them out! seriously - really good book. You look at people differently and a bit more objectively. Watch out for those who consistantly play the pity card. |

Have I ever said I LOVE MY LIBRARY. Well if not, I do. So I said it. I admit it. I am a library junkie. So today I picked up "Not One Damsel in Distress ~ World Folktales for Strong Girls" by Jane Yolen. I am asked to storytell for different events, so I am always trying to find interesting folktales that we may not necessarily have ever heard. I also try to find stories about women, strong women, or wiley women... etc. There are far too many male heroes in our north american cultural mythology. I am only one women, but I hold the power of my voice, my body and imagination to encourage other women to embrace the hero within. Anyway... I feel a tangent coming on.

I have read that. It changed the ways I look at food, the food industry and marketing.
Enjoy.
