  Whenever I hear some guy say that feminists don’t have a sense of humor, I want to punch that guy in the face.

  This was one of those books where I had to slug my way through it. I don’t know why I had to slug but I did. I started and stopped this three times and finally finished it. Woohoo. I feel very accomplished. One of the parts about this book that bothers me is that it’s first cousin romance. I’m not sure why this ...

  Regular readers know that, news-wise, CNN confuses me, and that I have all but kicked the NPR habit (it seems fantastic, but El Rancho Deluxe gets only one radio station, and it only plays one song: that Red Hot Chili Peppers slow dance where the dude yodels in that weird accent about how he doesn’t ever wanna feel ...

  Love Romance Passion — Authority: 433
  One of the first romance novels that I ever read was the Gamble by LaVyrle Spencer. I snuck it out of my mother’s collection because I was curious about all the fuss.

  I Blame The Patriarchy — Authority: 419
  Unidentified terrestrial object, September 2009.
