I didn’t know about the 50 book challenge, but as soon as I figure out what it is I will dig out my copy of Torn Shapes of Desire and re-read it.
I haven’t been following RaceFail ’09…like you said, it takes a lot of time and I have a day job. I think the “I’m not a racist” response comes the difference between empathy and sympathy. As a white girl from the sticks I can’t know in my soul what it is like to be a person of color but when you spoke about being on a bus on Sept 11, 2001 I could feel pain because you felt threatened.
I should have known you and Scalzi would be friends…everybody I know should know everyone else I know…
Does it help that I plan to locate and buy a copy of Bodies in motion and read it?
🙂
Not silly. Noted for action.
Heh. Maybe not silly, but on reflection, a bit self-centered. It’s all about MEEEE!
That said, I’m very pleased that you might be taking a look at my work. Thanks! Hope you like it! 🙂
There is nothing wrong with a little self-promotion!
It’s like free advertising, no?
