"Just started this today. People on the train were noticing -- prolly cos it's a magazine-size book (appropriately). So far, so good. I'm just now reading about Jane Pratt's involvement in the founding. Where are you these days, Jane?! We need you!

Hot Water Music (Paperback) by Charles Bukowski |
my rating:
|
||
|
recommended for: punks, lefties, artists, writers, poets, outsiders
read in December, 2007
Erica said:
"Lots of short stories about living hard and fast with associates that include loose/crazy women and downright criminal buddies. Bukowski has a very calloused, often humorous take of life and art, but portrays it with care and beauty, even when he's d...more

No One Belongs Here More Than You: Stories (Hardcover) by Miranda July |
my rating:
|
||
|
recommended for: Outsiders, lovers, dreamers
read in July, 2007
Erica said:
"Miranda July's my homegirl. This book is chock-full of weirdo short stories with offbeat characters. Even with all of the crazy sex/relationship scenarios in the short stories, I didn't feel totally creeped out by it. Something about Miranda's approa...more

Belly Laughs: The Naked Truth about Pregnancy and Childbirth (Paperback) by Jenny McCarthy |
my rating:
|
||
|
recommended for: Mothers to be, gross-out comedy lovers, princesses
read in July, 2007
Erica said:
"I hate the saying "it is what it is," but that's how I feel about this book. Apparently, McCarthy experienced every drawback to pregnancy known to woman, and was driven to write a book about it. But nothing's shocking. Even the fact that sh...more

Erica said:
"Got this on a whim at Quimbys and read it the same night b/c it was so good. Collection of comics with a focus on the Chicago punk/indie scene in the 90s. Highly recommended for people into comics/graphic novels (duh), Chicago underground, feminism, ...more

Ghost World (Paperback) by Daniel Clowes |
my rating:
|
||
|
recommended for: BFFs, outsiders, feminist, cynics
read in January, 2008
Erica said:
"I love the movie, so I figured I'd love the graph novel. I was right. BFFs Enid and Rebecca are bad ass, witty slacker-types who don't want to turn into their parents and either hate you or are obsessively intrigued by you. My kind of people.
