Is you're interested in Katherine of Aragon try Jean Plaidy's version. There's three novels, but the edition with all three seems to be the most common.

I think the idea of goddess worship appeals to me more because I'm fond of the idea of matriarchy than the actualy goddess herself. I know at the michigan Womyn's Music Festival they do a Goddess ritual that a lot of Womyn who are Christian, Jewish, in other words have a strong faith of their...

Bump! I'm reading this now, anyone else read it since 2002?

This is excellent!! I love that we're having this conversation. Even if I have given up on Women who Run With Wolves (kept falling asleep)

And your post just made my very very very lousy week a lot better. (no sympathy for the lousy week. I work in a bank. A bank CALL CENTRE. Every week is a lousy week)

You might laugh. But Madonna's childrens books are absolutely beautiful!

I agree with Patricia Cornwell, but try and get a Kay Scarpetta book from BEFORE The Last Precinct. My first was Potter's Field and I loved it. Very intense.

This beautiful little book that is no loner in print called "Don't Think Twice" by a Saskatchewan author (and I'll admit it, a friend of mine) Alison Lohans. It's a gorgeous story of a young girl in Fresno during the Vietnam war. It's beautiful and enertime I see Alison I ask if it will be...

I completely agree with SFG. In same element, the romantic in me what like "NO! I want him to live" but deep down I knew that for the story and for the character's beliefs (as well as to prevent a godawful sequel) he had to die.

Welcome! Jump right in!

Maybe it's the nympho in me (joking!) but I tend to put my books in two categories: Lovers and One Night Stands One Night Stands are those books that you enjoy, you're into it when it's happening but doesn't really leave a lasting effect on you (books unlike real one night stands, can't give...

Resurrecting this thread because people have had time to clear their top five! Mine right now is: Bastard out of Caroline by Dorothy Alison The Double by Jose Saramago All the Names by Jose Saramago The Jew Store by Stella Suberman The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco

I have both The Double and All The Names sitting in my pile, this post leads me to believe I should read The Double first? True?

Thank You!!!! Which of Tan's books is your favourite Paula?

The Vagina Monologues is amazing. It was probably my first foray into feminism when I was like 15. Freaked the hell out of my mom though. Though the fact that I bought it the same day as a lesbian magazine (had Ani Difranco on the front) probably didn't help...

I dont think this is so much a high jack as...the scenic route.

Yes! it sure does.

Paris Hilton's Stars are Blind. Made me want to gouge out my eyeballs.

I really enjoyed The Corrections for a while but around the middle of the cruise is started to feel like WORK to read it. I devoted a solid week of all of my reading time to the book and the only reason I didn't get through it was because I didn't want to feel that that week was wasted. It's...

We went and saw this because we had some free passes to use up at the movie theatre and it was the only thing that my partner wanted to see. I really didn't want to go but couldn't come up with a better suggestion. ANYWAY, I loved this movie, I thought it was beautiful and profound. It...
