Hello, fellow queer book reader! I'm also very much into SF/F. Do you want to be friends?

[muccamukk]

Sure! Sounds good. I keep thinking I've added you anyway, because I see you in ppls comments so often <3

[profiterole_reads]

I'm very talkative. lol

[verdande_mi]

Hi, we share many of the same likes in books, do you mind if I add?

[muccamukk]

Sounds good!

I tried to read Judith Butler years ago which ended up making me feel very unintelligent because I hardly understood anything :(

[muccamukk]

I think this new one is a little more accessible. I'm worried about that myself a bit, because I don't always get theory books, but several friends who aren't into the philosophy of gender at all have said this one was very readable.

[einhornmaedchen]

I might give that one a try, then.

A Book I Don't Recommend in My Favorite Genre(s): The Cure for Drowning by Loghan Paylor
lol lmao AMEN

(I already stole your Middlemarch answer, so I couldn't in good conscience also steal this one, but please consider yourself heartily seconded on this point.)

[muccamukk]

IDK why I thought you were already over here!

[matsushima]

I'd somehow missed Who's Afraid of Gender? but I put it on my TBR immediately. Thanks for the rec!

[muccamukk]

I hope you enjoy it!

/still hasn't gotten to it.
