I also read Thursdays
Apr. 4th, 2013 05:29 pm• What are you currently reading?
Moby-Dick, finally! I've been toying with the idea for ages, since I've really liked what bits I've read and it comes well recommended, but I've been commitment-phobic about books. I can read a chapter or two at a time, though. It's laugh-out-loud funny, which I knew from excerpts, and surprisingly anti-racist for the time, which I did not. Also very, very American, which somehow I wasn't expecting.
• What did you recently finish reading?
Wandering Son v1-3, Takako Shimura. (Hourou Musuko official translation.) Sweet and sad slice-of-life story about trans kids growing up in Japan. I hadn't remembered their adult transwoman friend Yuki being such a creeper; maybe she gets more sympathetic later.
Some excellent Mary Robinette Kowal stories linked from the Geek Feminism post on her.
Ivy by Sarah Oleksyk. Miserable in that way of people who are really miserable in high school: Ivy is an artist with a mother who wants her to go to business school, a total jerk to her friends, and a fool in love. The art complements the story perfectly.
• What do you think you'll read next?
More books! Yay!
