I'm reading "The Girl Who Played with Fire," the second of Stieg Larsson's books about Lisbeth Salander, she of the Dragon Tattoo. So far, I like it as much as the first book. I can already sense the danger she faces, and wonder how her friend Mikael Blomqvuist will fit into the plot. Good stuff.

I haven't read anything new in quiet some time. However, I am currently rereading Impulse by Ellen Hopkins. It's a teen novel written in verse that I read when I was still in high school. Afterwords, I'll reread either The Loch by Steve Alten or Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card.

If any of you happen to like shark stuff, I would seriously recommend Steve Alten's MEG series. It's like Jaws, but on high dose steroids.

My ex watched first film adaptation of The Girth With the Dragon Tattoo and he said he loved it and has been nagging me to watch it and I must admit, it looks quite phenomenal, so I believe I'll read the novel first, which I may end up doing instead of rereading The Loch or Ender's Game.

Reading Spell Bound, which is the Hex Hall book 3. I really love the main character. Her sarcasm is really funny. Books one and two of the series were great.

I liked the movie and have thought of reading the books but I've heard they're pretty complex. Lots of characters and plot is hard to follow. Is that your experience with them?

The movie I did enjoy, but it was a little hard to follow.

I am currently working my way through Jean Auel's "The Land of the Painted Caves" I have also read, and own, The others in the series. She is a wonderful writer, if just a tad long winded and overly thorough.

Currently working through the Kathy Reichs books.

I am on Monday Mourning now.

She is the forensic anthropologist that the Bones TV series is based on.

I'm reading the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, about halfway through it. It takes me a while to finish reading leisure books because I have a lot of school reading (texts, articles, research), but I can't get to sleep without reading something. I have a week off so hopefully I'll finish it soon. I normally don't read mystery/thrillers but this one has such great reviews. So far I am intrigued.

I have just started reading Subterranean by James Rollins. This is the 4th book by him I have enjoyed. Thriller, mystery, action, history. Dont want to put his books down. Other books I have enjoyed by him are Doomsday Key, The Judas strain, and The last Oracle, Awesome writer who has the ability to keep the reader on edge as to what is coming next and at the same time, paints a story, using words that draws you in.

Well, I just finished Auel's, so now I have started with Dante. I do enjoy a classic now and then.

I'm reading "Pricing Beauty: The Making of a Fashion Model" by Ashley Mears. She is a sociologist who, as part of her PhD thesis, worked as a professional model, conducted interviews with the insiders, and wrote about it from a sociologist's perspective. It's very interesting!! :-)

Oooh! Another Dante fan! Just remember, it is in archaic english, so it may take some getting used to.

Umm, I presume that it is Dante's Divine Comedy, If not then disregard this post.

Reading Automated Alice by Jeff Noon. It's Alice (in Wonderland) time traveling into the future. I'm enjoying it. It's not anywhere near as weird as Vurt.

For my night-time book I'm reading a collection of Philip K. penis's short stories.

Gwenhwyfar by Mercedes Lackey was a blind buy for me but is turning out to be quite an interesting take through King Arthur's tale.

Funny autocorrect. Philip K penis is famazing; have you read "Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep"? Its super-downer, but a very deep take on human empathy and the nature of the soul. penis is my 3rd favorite scifi author behind Bradbury. 451 is mindblowingly good.

Currently rereading Wicked, and then slogging through Steven King's Under the Dome to prepare for the miniseries this summer.

Yep! I love PKD! Do Androids Dream is maybe my favorite of his. Either that or Ubik. I've read quite a few of stuff and hope to get through all of it some day.

I didn't like his Valis triology and Deus Irea he co-authored with Zelazny.

Sorru for Tad Williams but I stopped reading with the second book of this serious called Shadowmarch.

Then started a David Baldacci but thats tossed aside cause I'm now reading finding Kay a transgender odyssey.

Which she so graciously offered us for free download.

And I'm really enjoying reading it.

      happy trans birthday! I can't speak personally on the subject, but I hope hormones bring you the changes you're looking for <3 
    • MaeBe
      That’s super healthy, to see that something that becomes common has less effect on you and that you are able to decipher these feelings.   Sadly, this trend tends to only deaden good feelings as we tend not to let bad feelings attenuate the same way.   I have noticed less euphoria, but still feel the dysphorias that I have. Sometimes the good sneaks in and reminds me, but often time it’s just me seeing myself in the mirror and being comfortable about what I see when embracing my realized self. I may not get the same buzz I once did, but I don’t feel incongruous when looking at a more “drab” reflection.    Wishing you strength, you are amazing!
    • KayC
      Congratulations! and Happy Trans Birthday @LittleSam! That is such a BIG milestone.  I can still remember walking out of my clinic with my first HRT presciption.  I was on Cloud-9.  Wishing you all the best in the start of your new Journey!

      maebe thank you I try to be. I thank God for blessings, try to share them, beg forgiveness for my shortcomings n vow to try to do better...2 priests have said no, God doesn't condemn you just for being trans...but apparently evangelicals do   I shall vtry dear thank you  
    • MaeBe
      Meet him at the being good to others part of Christianity. At the heart of it, there are excellent tenets of the faith. Those that condemn are judging, Jesus would have us be selfless; stone casting and all that. Are you a good person? Are you putting good into the world? If your gender is an issue for God, let God judge. In the mortal realm, let your actions be heard. 
    • missyjo
      and just fi sweeten it..I'm catholic n he hasn't been for years..he's evangelical..whatever that is
    • MaeBe
      Let’s stick to cite-able fact. Most of my posts have been directly in relation to LGBTQ+ rights as it pertains to P2025 and I have drawn direct links between people, their quotes, and their agenda. I have made reference to the cronyism that P2025 would entail as well, by gutting, not cutting, broad swathes of government and replacing it with “conservative warriors” (I can get you the direct quote, but rest assured it’s a quote). All this does is constantly force the cogs to be refitted, not their movement. To say that agencies have directly defied a President is a bit much, the EPA did what Trump told them to do at the direct harm to the environment, the department of agriculture did the same by enacting the administrations forced move to KC which decimated the USDA.      How about Betsy DeVoss for Education? Or Bannon for anything? What about the revolving Chief of Staff position that Trump couldn’t stay filled? Or the Postmaster General, who did much to make the USPS worse?   Let’s not mix politics with racism, sexism, or any other ism. Because Trump made mainly white, male, appointments—many of them not, arguably, people fit for service—or unwilling to commit to term. I can argue this because, again, he’s up for election and will do what he did before (and more of the same, his words).   Please delineate how the selected diversity appointments have negatively affected the US, other than being black, women, or queer? Representation matters and America benefits when its people are inspired and empowered.

      When I first started figuring things out, I got a lot more euphoria. Every time a friend would use he/they pronouns for me, I'd get this bubbly feeling, and seeing myself look masculine made me really happy. Dysphoric state felt more normal, so I guess I noticed the pain it caused me less.   Now, it's more just that my pronouns and such things feel natural, and dysphoria is a lot stronger -- I know what's natural, so experiencing the opposite is more jarring than everything. The problem is, most of my natural experiences are from friends, and I rarely get properly gendered by strangers, much less by my family. I've found myself unable to bind in months due to aches, colds,, and not wanting to risk damage.    It partially makes me want to go back to the beginning of my journey, because at least then I got full euphoria. I'm pretty sure it'll be like this until I medically transition, or at the very least get top surgery (you know all those trans dudes online with tiny chests? Not me, unfortunately). It's a bit depressing, but at least I know that, eventually, there's a way out of this.
    • RaineOnYourParade
      Major mood, right here ^^^    I've listened to Lumineers to a long time (a major portion of it by osmosis via my mom), so that is almost painfully relatable
    • RaineOnYourParade
      As for getting a button-up/formal pants suit, you can try to talk to her more -- Cis women in tuxes have worn tuxes in recent years, after all, (for example, Zendaya) so it can still be a relatively safe topic. For jumpsuits, I'd recommend going with a simple one with a blazer, if you can -- this'll make it look overall more masculine. There's a lot of good brands, but going for one without a lot of extra glitz on it will make it look less feminine under a blazer. I don't know many specific brands though since I usually just get my stuff from chain stores, sorry :<   When it comes to your hair, if you can't cut it, you can look up tutorials on fluffing it up instead. If you can pull it off, it can look a lot shorter and more androgynous instead!
    • RaineOnYourParade
      As far as I'm aware, he wasn't -- he just sometimes wore skirts, which was why it was a question in the first place.   In my opinion, part of that is because of the way press spares attention on issues like that. As a bit of a true crime nut and what I see: Child predator cases' (and cases of a sexual nature in general) press focus on those with an AMAB perpetrator generally, and very rarely are AFAB perpetrators given much press time or even getting tried due to a whole bunch of issues I'm not gonna get into. Because of this, when you see these types of cases and a boy is the victim, it's almost always a queer person who is the one who committed a crime that gets press. Therefore, with the amount of cases seen with this type of perpetrator (and due to the fact "99% of queer people are not sexual criminals" doesn't attract eyes), the human brain can kind of naturally makes an association with it. It's not right, but it's also a fault I think falls partially on the media.   That's all my opinion, though!   This is extra confusing to me, as a feminine man is usually viewed as gay. If someone is refusing the acknowledge the existence of trans people, then gay would be the societal connection that comes after, I think. So, that sorta implies that trans women wouldn't be interested in women in the first place by those assumptions? Of course, trans lesbians exist (most trans women I know like women, actually), but it's a little ridiculous to me that people will deny trans people's existence, call all feminine AMAB people gay, and say that trans people are looking to peep all in the same breath.   Wow, this was a lot longer of a response than I was planning to write--

      For one thing, the practice of putting into office wholly unqualified people simply because of racial, sexual or national characteristics.  It is no accident that Karine is a Haitian immigrant, Black and lesbian.  Kamala Harris is a Black female. Pete Buttigieg is gay.  Often you find that Biden explicitly stated that this is why he hired them, not because of competence, but because they checked so many boxes on his little list.  It makes a mockery of people and is a disservice to the US.

      I am not sure why people are in favor of unaccountable agencies with bloated budgets and wasteful spending.
