I scored a book voucher to the local queer book store, and as per usual bought up big. I read a lot and generally widely, but I only buy queer books because I can get most other texts from the library. This time's selection is:
S/he by Minnie Bruce Pratt
I'm liking it so far, it's pretty poetic and I generally prefer a more direct style. But her voice is so clear and her experiences so vivid, and so rarely written. It makes me want to read more of Leslie Feinberg as well.
The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller
I LOVED this. As soon as Donna Tratt endorsed it, I had to get it. Ancient Greek gay love story? I'm in.
And Genedr Outlaws by Kate Bornstein.
Haven't started it yet, but am really looking forward to it.
It's a blazing summer here, 40C (109F?) so the best option really is sweating quietly and reading.
