The irresistible pleasure of words and story
It seems like a misuse of time. Time that could be spent diving into either the tangible-paper or the digital To Be Read stack. Time spent on just about any other thing than looking in a rearview mirror.
Maybe so. But visiting an old friend is often more satisfying than spending time with someone new, and so it is with books. When I read a favorite again, I find something new – a detail I’d missed, Read more of this blog post »

| If I looked up 'dumpster fire' in the dictionary, I wouldn't be surprised to see a picture of this mess. No rhyme or reason to the overly broad selection of women to profile, with a couple paragraphs to a few pages for each, all seemingly compiled fr ...more | |

The Book of Awesome Women: Boundary Breakers, Freedom Fighters, Sheroes and Female Firsts (Teenage Girl Gift Ages 13-17) (Awesome Books):
"It is hard to take this book seriously, but I tried. The book is writen in a breathy gossip-column style. Mother Jones, the co-founder of the Industrial Workers of the World, is called "Mo Jo Rising" and she is allocated equal text with Yoko Ono. Mar"

The Book of Awesome Women: Boundary Breakers, Freedom Fighters, Sheroes and Female Firsts (Teenage Girl Gift Ages 13-17) (Awesome Books):
"I was hoping this book would be as awesome as its title, but I couldn't get over the number of clichés, inconsistencies, typos, and in some cases, simple lack of fact-checking. My three main areas of concern:

The Book of Awesome Women: Boundary Breakers, Freedom Fighters, Sheroes and Female Firsts (Teenage Girl Gift Ages 13-17) (Awesome Books):
"This was a bummer. I bought this for my classroom and it’s a total letdown. I could have written this same book based off of basic Wikipedia searches, which is what each page felt like. The author crammed dozens of small snippets in, where a more det"

“The basic project of art is always to make the world whole and comprehensible, to restore it to us in all its glory and its occasional nastiness, not through argument but through feeling, and then to close the gap between you and everything that is not you, and in this way pass from feeling to meaning. It's not something that committees can do. It's not a task achieved by groups or by movements. It's done by individuals, each person mediating in some way between a sense of history and an experience of the world.”

“How should you read? What should the diet of your reading be? Read the best writers from all different periods; keep your reading of contemporaries in proportion—you do not want a steady diet of contemporary literature. You already belong to your time.”

“The struggle is inner: Chicano, indio, American Indian, mojado, mexicano, immigrant Latino, Anglo in power, working class Anglo, Black, Asian--our psyches resemble the bordertowns and are populated by the same people. The struggle has always been inner, and is played out in outer terrains. Awareness of our situation must come before inner changes, which in turn come before changes in society. Nothing happens in the "real" world unless it first happens in the images in our heads.”
