| Roth provides an account of the disparate feminist organisations as they arose in White, Black, and Chicana communities during 1960s second-wave feminism. It's a shame the prose is so academic in tone rather than more accessible, and frequently repea ...more | |

Lidie: The Further Travels and Adventures of Lidie Newton (Lidie Newton, #2)
by Jane Smiley (Goodreads Author) |
|
| I've not read the first book in the series, but from what I gather it sounds very eventful, and fans of the novel may have found this one disappointing, as it's almost completely lacking in plot, being more of a travelogue as a young, fairly uneducat ...more | |

| The series of essays by Prof Murphy (whom I took classes with while at A.S.U.) starts off a bit rough ... the language in the opening section manages to both use antiquated language (these were written in the 1970s) which some readers may find offens ...more | |

| I was surprised at the novelty of this early Andy Weir fantasy story, finding it difficult to resist the central conceit (Dorothy, Alice, and Wendy team up to have adventures). I admit it has significant flaws ... it's completely frothy, few of the c ...more | |

Pleasant enough historical fiction, about a woman who works in a brothel in Monterey in the 1850s, who goes on the hunt for a possible serial murderer. I do suspect the account of working at a brothel is overly idealised, but on the other hand, what d ...more |

| My understanding is that Margaret Atwood wrote a brief short story (included in the volume) about the history of Canadian superhero comics (with illustrations from Steacy), and then Steacy expanded the narrative into a comic book series. The story is ...more | |

| Even given that the protagonist, Janet, is dead in the prologue to this gothic tale, her final end (after several unbearably tense pages) is still shocking. One wishes for more for Janet; one could gleefully have read a romance novel focused on her t ...more | |
“You get work however you get work, but people keep working in a freelance world (and more and more of todays world is freelance), because their work is good, because they are easy to get along with and because they deliver the work on time. And you don’t even need all three! Two out of three is fine. People will tolerate how unpleasant you are if your work is good and you deliver it on time. People will forgive the lateness of your work if it is good and they like you. And you don’t have to be as good as everyone else if you’re on time and it’s always a pleasure to hear from you.”
