Alas, no :( But I've had Butler on my Need To Try list for some time now. I'll get around to it eventually! (So many books. So little time.)

This is an author profile, but I am very much on GR as a reader. I will not spam you with recommendations of stuff I'm in and I realise that three star reviews are good! I am always very happy to accept Goodreads friends requests from other readers :)

| Honestly? I skimmed a lot of this. I struggle with the fact that something purporting to be a 'history' has so few references, but I also acknowledge that Foucault's interest is less in facts than it is in ideas. All that said, this book is definitel ...more | |

| Okay, so now I’ve read two of Foucault’s books in two days, and I get it: power influences everything. I just have to wonder, though—isn’t this obvious? Can’t any person from an oppressed group see that in their own life? I’m not arguing with his mai ...more | |

| This is the best of the DA books IMO, which is really saying something because they're all good and a couple of others are excellent. There are no familiar characters in this one, so I wasn't sure how much I'd enjoy it, but Merciel does a great job o ...more | |

| The thing that struck me the most about this collection of essays is just how readable it is in comparison to Gender Trouble. There's a lot of good stuff here, too. Some points really resonated with me, especially in the earlier chapters. She lost me ...more | |

| These kinds of books always date so quickly, but there's still a lot to gain from reading this one. I particularly enjoyed Stevi Jackson's chapter, which did a great job IMO of showing how you can integrate discourse with the material. | |

| The clear language in this one was a delight to read. It does a good job of examining the past and the present (as of 2003) of feminist criticism and isn't afraid to point out where there have been failures. I would've liked a little more direction t ...more | |
“Does such a thing as 'the fatal flaw,' that showy dark crack running down the middle of a life, exist outside literature? I used to think it didn't. Now I think it does. And I think that mine is this: a morbid longing for the picturesque at all costs.”

Thanks for accepting my friend request. We have a lot of books in common across the genres.
Thanks for accepting my friend request, Tara.
Thanks so much for the friendvite and the lovely note, Tara. I really appreciate your taking the time to write something about what happened, as it's been a bit of a zoo here lately. Aside from all that, I look forward to chatting books with you, too! :)
