bookshelves: books-from-grad-school-courses
This is a highly pretentious, overly self-conscious, over-studied play that I really resent having had to read. I don't care for it at all. AT ALL. Like, to the degree that the play, just sitting on my self, actually irritates me. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/77078416 Beth's review of Gender Trouble (Routledge Classics)

bookshelves: books-from-grad-school-courses, books-that-will-turn-you-liberal, literary-theory-and-criticism
This book, wow. Exceptional. Tough to read, very slow going, but powerful ideas. I think I pretty much worship Eve Sedgwick.

The only drawback for me is that I have not read/studied Billy Budd, which this book focuses on quite a bit. It made me want to read it, though! ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/77078281 to: Tales of Henry James (Norton Critical Editions) by Henry James

I didn't realize until this course that I actually love Henry James. :) His stories are pretty incredible. "The Beast in the Jungle" in my favorite. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/75084350 Kate's review of Benito Cereno
by Herman Melville

Kate, we read this in White American Masculinities with Pollak. What did you like about it? I'm incredibly curious. Not that I disliked it by any means; it just wasn't a 5star-er for me... :) ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/72858790 to: Literary Theory: An Introduction (Paperback) by Terry Eagleton
