message 3225: by David (new)

David Roberts (twigo) | 0 comments My book, Becoming Twigo, deals with many feminist issues, especially bullying in all its forms. Most of you are female, so let me give you an in to the way many men are brought up to think that women are inferior to men and have their "proper places" in society that is male dominated. These arguments are not new, but I may embellish a bit.

Suppose you are an alien from outer space. You are going to a planet called earth. What you know about earth is that it is inhabited by male and female Homo sapiens in about equal numbers. The population live in multiple societies with varying forms of government, economic systems, and religious doctrines. That's it. So, your expectations when you get to this planet is that there will be about equal numbers of male and female leaders in those areas.
You get to earth. Lo and behold, you find that the earth's systems are dominated by males. Really dominated. What explains this phenomenon?

Answer: Men are superior to women in the important ways that make society's function. How so? Men are wired differently, have different levels of chemicals in them --chemicals that make important differences with regard to success in important areas (eg., business and economics)-- and are for the most part, physically stronger. These are key factors to lead men to occupy higher levels of control. Which they grab. And hold.

Hold by many times using practices that further increase their power over women. Men are not altruistic. For example, men use religion to suppress women. Will there ever be a female Pope? Men use marriage to enslave women. By saying "I do" a man gets everything he needs that he would otherwise have to pay for. Hey, just ask yourself, does a man really do his fair share of the housework, care for the children, etc? Be honest. We have ways of conditioning women to think that they are responsible for their malaise when they feel treated unequally. I'll save those for later.

Twigo has to deal with many of these attitudes. give her a look, and see how she does.

I could go on, but let's see what y'all have to say.

message 3227: by Sarah (new)

Sarah Ellis Hello all! My name is Sarah, I'm a big fantasy nerd and I love YA books as well. I'm also a first time author. My favorite series is Michelle West's Sun Sword Series, which is more straight fantasy but still fantastic.

I'd love to get more YA recommendations, as I'm on a real kick with it lately and you read them so fast. I liked the Cassandra Claire ones a lot. Or anything Hunger Games, dystopian, that sort of thing. Excited to be here!

message 3238: by Aylli (new)

Aylli (humaneity) | 9 comments Hi, my name's Aylli! I've been a huge bookworm ever since I was a kid, but it's only been a year that I've been reading YA books, and I can say that I'm completely and utterly in love with them. I'm trying to read more this year, but I'm not consistent in reading books in series, and only ever read the first book if ever... I love contemporary and realistic fiction novels (fantasy and paranormal time to time), and my favorite books have to be The Fault in Our Stars by John Green, The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky, and a few others. I joined this group so that I could find more about some good YA books, so I'd really appreciate any reccomedations. See you! :)


Charlotte (BasketCaseLottie) | 7 comments Hello everyone :) my name is Charlotte and I'm from Scotland. My favourite book is "the perks of being a wallflower" by Stephen Chbosky. I'm not sure who my favourite author is yet and my favourite books are about myths, such as Percy Jackson, or dystopians. :)


message 3240: by Ben (new)

Ben Lees | 6 comments Hi, I'm Ben. Still pretty new to goodreads. I'm no longer a young adult but like a lot of YA fiction (wish there had been more around like now when I was younger). Are there any other older YA readers out there?


message 3241: by Sarah (new)

Sarah Hello! Im an addict to most things that are fantasy or fiction-ish otherwise known as Sarah. The harry potter books are counted as my top seven favourites and some of my favourite authors are Cassandra Clare, Rick Riordan and J.R.R Tolkien.
One of the things that sets me apart from almost every single teenage girl out there seems to be that:
I have absolutely NO attachment whatsoever to romantic books, which means that i don't like romance novels at all, i just don't care if the girl gets the guy in the end or how much the prince loves the princess, it's just like every other emotion, only that some authors waste several pages explaining just how the protagonist feels a special way about someone, and while wasting precious words and pages, most of the plot seems to go lost with them.
I love books with enjoyable plots (it doesn't have to be the most well written plot to be a lovable one)and i like original ones with mind blowing plot twists that suddenly ties up every loose thread perfectly to make the book complete. Or just something along those lines. As long as it has something special.


message 3242: by Maria (new)

Maria | 1 comments Hi I'm Maria I'm 23 and I love YA. Currently my favorite would be the summer I turned pretty trilogy by Jenny Han I finished it in about 4 days. I also love Cassandra Clare.
