follow friday

[manifesta]

I've been reading lots of books that make me happy lately, and I'm torn between muttering about each them in a single post or critically analyzing each of them in separate posts or sitting on them like a dragon. What the posts would not be are reviews. I would most likely be picking apart certain aspects of the book, aspects that relate to social justice issues in some fashion or another. I wouldn't discuss the writing, plot, characters, etc. unless it was relevant in some way. If asked, I could certainly say if I recommended it, but the analysis itself wouldn't paint a complete picture of the book, and I'd acknowledge that.

It's followfriday!

madame_parker is new-ish to DW and is a bookworm with fannish interests. Go say hi!
ephemere talks about gaming, culture, history, and economics.
lea_hazel comments on books and general general geekery, and makes the occasional but highly amusing psychological observation.

three_weeks_for_dw starts on Monday the 26th! To echo erda the easiest way to contribute, if you don't have the time/don't want to write up anything in a post, is to comment! I'll be posting... something. It's a surprise (even for me!).

Critical analysis sounds brilliant, and it would be great to hear about books that make you happy!

Thanks for the rec :D

I, too, would like to read your critical analysis of those books! (The image of a dragon sitting on books is really rather adorable, haha.)
