I read this 4 times, and there is always something new to discover each time. I read it for college, but I enjoyed it and wrote about it extensively. If you are writing a paper on it, I can help...I am sure of it.

Its a good book for those who wants to finish fast n get a good yet cheap thrill... Interesting plots n its quite a page turner... But the story is somewhat predictable n is something u'd get out of the movies.. The main essence of the book is about animal rights vs science for the good of men...its intertwined with a mushy love story.... A good read for a thrill...

This book kept coming up, so I was really curious to read it! Two cousins, living in 19th century England, become penfriends as one is in London for the Season and the other had to stay behind at the family home on the countryside. Magic runs in the family and even if they didn't have a proper training, they start getting involved in order to help each other through the problems that show up. It's a fun book, written by two women (each took a character) playing a Letter Game.

At the end of Ernest Hemingway's memoir, he writes of his first wife, Hadley Richardson, "I wish I had died before I loved anyone but her." Set mainly against halcyon days of 1920s Paris, the plot centers on Ernest, Hadley and the love they shared before he was famous. The couple meets at a party hosted by mutual friends in Chicago. The 21-year-old Hemingway is enchanted with the pretty, rather shy, older (by eight years) woman. When Hadley returns home to St. Louis, Ernest pursues her via correspondence. They write thousands of pages of letters to each other, and he eventually turns up at her doorstep. Once married, the newlyweds head to Paris, where they believe that Ernest’s writing career will finally blossom. Hadley works as hard as a young wife, cleaning a one-room apartment, fixing meals, and trying not to disturbed her husband. It’s soon evident that he cannot work there and gets a small studio close by. The separation and boredom are hard for Hadley, but she has faith that he will succeed. The Hemingway’s make friends with other ex-patriots like Gertrude Stein, James Joyce, F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald, Ezra Pound, Ford Maddox Ford, Harold Loeb, and many others. They travel through Europe on a whim, ski in Switzerland, attend the bullfights in Spain, all the while Ernest is writing like a man possessed. As Hemingway’s fame grows, their marriage dissolves.

This took me about an hour or so to read. If you have not read any of Satrapi's work, I would not recommend starting with this one. It pales in comparison to Persepolis and Persepolis 2. I wanted more from this all-too-short graphic novel; the experience left me with the feeling that there was still untapped potential from the incident she relays.

I know it's beautifully written, but reading it made me very unhappy. I swore off Philip Roth for some time after reading it, but I recommend Human Stain, anyway.

I had the kind of high hopes for "Dude You're a Fag" that were bound to leave me disappointed. It would've been impossible for the author to exhaustively cover absolutely everything I hoped she would about masculinity and sexual identity development in high school in a couple hundred pages. What's left, then, is a nonfiction work that is at times fascinating and at others deeply frustrating with its lack of information. Pascoe sets out to earn her PhD by studying masculinity within the dynamics of a small town California high school. It's racially diverse and indeed some of her most interesting observations come in the different way that masculinity manifests between White and Black students. (It is a little disappointing that while students of most ethnic backgrounds identify as either Black or White, there's a third socially recognized ethnic group of Latino students who speak no English, but Pascoe fails to interact with them at all since she doesn't speak Spanish. She didn't have a Spanish-speaking friend to help her out? It seems like even interviewing one or two students would've added quite a bit to the study.) The real highlight of the book was the chapter about masculine girls in the school, which primarily documented two very distinct cliques - the popular "basketball girls" who identified primarily as nonwhite and included open lesbians among their ranks, while adopting some of the clothing and culture of straight Black men, and the "GSA girls" who included mostly white lesbians who identified with more of a goth or punk culture. Her observations were fascinating, although I did take some issue with the treatment of the basketball girls' harassment of other female students as mostly harmless. Maybe I've been reading too much Julia Serano for my own good, but my immediate thought was that these girls weren't bending gender stereotypes so much as adopting masculine behaviors and deriving a higher social status from demonizing femininity. When describing how they threw food at other students in the cafeteria, Pascoe dismisses it as almost cute while elsewhere regarding the hazing of the school's only openly gay student Ricky, who has to change routes home because people throw things at him, as tragic and hateful. I am not arguing with the latter point, but failed to see the basketball girls' hazing of feminine students as quite so butch-girls-will-be-butch-girls benign. Perhaps the main area that I wish the book had covered more was how gay males functioned within the school's social structure. The story of Ricky is thorough and heartbreaking, but while Pascoe mentions at least one closeted gay male (one of the drama students), she never actually talks about his experiences beyond that. Since a good part of the book is devoted to how the administrators and school institution reinforce heterosexuality as normative behavior, it would have been nice if her writing and/or research had touched upon what effects of this structured endorsement had upon gay (and for that matter lesbian) students. Unfortunately beyond Ricky's story there's nothing here about gay men, perhaps the biggest disappointment of the book. The very issue of school as structure enforcing heterosexist norms, however, is mentioned repeatedly but never really defended well. Surely society as a whole has enough heterosexually-focused institutions that the high school isn't imposing assumptions on students they won't encounter elsewhere, and while that doesn't defend the practice there's also little time devoted to why the existence of gender-coded graduation gowns, differences in attire expectations between genders, school dances, or even the proclaimed horror of one teacher posting photos her students had given her from their school dances on a wall in the classroom (called by the author a "shrine to heterosexuality") actually hurts students, particularly ones who are not heterosexual. On the whole "Dude You're a Fag" was a fascinating read once I escaped the book's tedious first chapter, which is loaded down with sociology jargon (I'll be happy to never again read a book that contains the word "post-structuralist"). In particular the ways in which sexism and heterosexism were institutionalized and the suggested policy changes made the book a worthwhile read for anyone in a position to change these things. Seeing how ineffective anti-harassment laws can be in the context of school teachers and administrators unwilling to enforce them was sobering, and realizing how different Ricky's fate might have been had he been part of a stable, wealthy family willing to insist upon laws made to protect him being held up made me wonder how at-risk gay teens can be helped effectively.
