This book was only 400 pages long, but it took me something like eight months (or more - I can't remember the exact date I started reading the book) to finish it. But it wasn't because I didn't find the book interesting; instead, there's just a lot of information to ruminate over and digest. Most of these essays are least ten years old - some even older than that - so they can sometimes feel dated, but many are still relevant today, and nearly all of them were pretty darned interesting.
Good review of the issues, but perhaps nothing new, since I've read a few books on the topic already.
Satiating. Good to read, like bell hooks, just after a class in which a few loud students are insisting that feminists are merely man haters, and racism is a thing of the past.
some of the articles in the magazine itself are pretty out there. like, my little ponies teach little girls how to raise their humps and bat their big, dilated eyes. i'm not saying it's bad to question the toys we hand our kids, but still. the fare in the book is a bit more selective.
these collected articles tackle some pressing issues in just the ways i want them tackeled. for once.… (altro)

The majority of the book is a cook book and I'm not a cook book grrl. I'm a lazy cook. But I really liked this cook book because it was simple. Not so much the recipes, but the way Lisa explains the reasons why you do this or that while you cook - the procedure of cooking.
I haven't made anything from the book yet, but that's more of a statement on the sorry state of my kitchen than on the recipes. A good hearty trip to the local farmer's market is due!… (altro)
