Woman Unbound ChallengeThe Women Unbound Challenge: 11/08/09
There is a new reading challenge that focuses on women's studies and feminism. There's a three question meme that goes with the challenge but I'm not going to answer them. I'm also not going to list the books I plan to read because I don't know which books, or how many, I'll manage to read.

The challenge runs from November 1, 2009 to November 30, 2010.

I can tell you that the challenge will include these three books (as I've read them in November but still need to review them:

  • The Kayla Chronicles by Sherri Winston
  • Harriet Beecher Stowe by Suzanne M. Coil
  • Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf

There are three levels of reading to the challenge:

  • Philogynist: read at least two books, including at least one nonfiction one.
  • Bluestocking: read at least five books, including at least two nonfiction ones.
  • Suffragette: read at least eight books, including at least three nonfiction ones.

All Meat Looks Like South America (Link goes to Amazon)All Meat Looks Like South America: 11/08/09
All Meat Looks Like South America is an alternate history book with a focus on the engineering and marketing from future histories that didn't happen. Some are silly, some are bizarre and some are nostalgic.

The paintings are in the style of 1930s through 1950s marketing material and propaganda. The lines are clean, the colors are crisp and everything is either vaguely art deco or bauhaus.

Then on second look and with reading the accompanying text, it's obvious that these plausible looking things aren't possible and have never existed. For example the page of WWII airplane designs are full of ridiculous contraptions.

The book is oversized and a perfect coffee table book to keep guests amused. My son and I look at it together to get ideas for our own projects or stories.
