A few of my favourite books. Laquo; Elizabeth Bowen and What to Read. The sound of waves. February 15, 2011. I am breaking my self-imposed no blogging while in Florida rule here to share a few of my adventures so far. As you can see, it’s lovely and sunny at the beach and I am so glad to be away from snow, but it’s not quite warm enough to do without a cardigan all the time! Edith Wharton and Truman Capote are two I’m wanting to explore further and it’s nice to see more of their books in stoc...Virginia ...

A Year of Feminist Classics. Because they're better together :). 8216;The Feminine Mystique’ – Betty Friedan. On October 2, 2012. In 1957 Betty Friedan. Conducted a survey of her Smith College class for their 15. Friedan calls this ‘the problem with no name’ which ‘lay buried, unspoken, for many years in the minds of American women’. I think it’s the meat of this book that makes it so interesting, rather than Friedan’s own background, so shall we get right into analysing it? Join 216 other followers.

A Year of Feminist Classics. Because they're better together :). Feminism Without Borders: Chapter 1 Discussion. On January 23, 2013. I’ll likely combine some of the chapters together in discussion posts, but since chapter one goes straight to the heart of the book’s intent, I thought it needed its own post. That his how the “Third World difference” is produced. I find that last bit especially intriguing; do feminists fall into a logical fallacy that easily? First, the pay attention to the specific socia...

Lifetime Reading Plan: Spoilers in Ancient Literature

http://lifetimereadingplan.blogspot.com/2011/02/spoilers-in-ancient-literature.html

III 17th and 18th Centuries. V 20th and 21st Centuries. Thursday, February 3, 2011. Spoilers in Ancient Literature. Started a discussion on Twitter about the special problems that Classics bloggers face, I started thinking about how difficult I am finding the "spoiler" issue.

But somehow it feels very different when books don't seem t...

Haphazardly, the defining year for “vintage” is 1979. Wanna get started early? Now that ...
