basically, going to powell's on payday is just. not advised.
all bought today. there's two more, but my sister already asked to borrow them. and also, my cat's ears. we do well here.
basically i've read a few of those, i just wanted to own them again.
HERE'S MY TO READ LIST:
Feminine Mystique - Betty Friedan
Full Frontal Feminism - Jessica Velenti
Written on the Body - Jeanette Winterson (this might kill me, just saying.)
A Common Pornography - Kevin Sampsell
The History of Love - Nicole Krauss (i hope this is good)
Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close - Jonathan Safran Foer
Peter Camenzind - Herman Hesse
Middlesex - Jeffrey Eugenides
AND ALSO, BOOKS I NEED TO FINISH BECAUSE I GET OVERWHELMED WHEN I AM READING TOO MANY THINGS AT ONCE AND THROW THEM ALL ACROSS MY ROOM AND GO BACK TO READING RICHARD SIKEN FOR THE 34596237492875692734TH TIME:
Neither Wolf Nor Dog - Kent Nerburn (jfc i have like fifty pages left and i love this book what is wrong with me.)
On the Road - Jack Kerouac
Yes Means Yes! - Jaclyn Friedman and Jessica Valenti (i'm taking it an essay at a time and it's hard to read sometimes but i'll get through it because i love it i swear!)
The Heart is a Lonely Hunter - Carson McCullers
My Doris zine anthology
AND ALSO, BOOKS I WOULD LIKE TO REREAD:
Stone Butch Blues - Leslie Feinberg
The Hanged Man and Echo - Francesca Lia Block (whatever they're kind of kid-ish but they're beautiful)
Demian - Herman Hesse
Wuthering Heights - Emily Bronte
Sense and Sensibility - Jane Ausen
Crush - Richard Siken (if books were outlawed and people could only memorize them and pass them along through storytime, this would be my contribution.)
basically, the lesson i've learned today is to avoid places that sell books at all costs.
EDIT: AHAHAHA WTF WAS THERE AN ACTUAL SENTENCE IN THIS POST THAT I DIDN'T BEGIN WITH "BASCIALLY."
