Books from Karen Rose tend to be my faves.

Bone mans daughters - Ted Dekker is my FAVE book of all time. It was amazing, loved it. LOVED it. Did i mention i loved it?!

Daniel - Ted Dekker is another good book, not quite as amazing as Bone mans daughters though.

Thr3e - Ted Dekker is another amazing book, but not quite as amazing as bone mans daughter....

i may have others to list soon when i've read a new book i recently got from an author i've never read before called Peter Robison. But i'm currently reading a Karen Rose book. "You can't hide" is one of my many faves of hers.

Not many knew i was a book worm did they? :P

This is an interesting topic for me.. I LOVE books..

My all time favorite is Romeo + Juliet. It is a tragedy, but it's also the second greatest love story ever written. (The first greatest love story ever written is your own ;) )

I'm also a big fan of The Twilight Saga. (particularly Breaking Dawn)

The House of Night series.

Immortal (It's a collection of vampire love stories)

Thirst No. 1 & 2

I could go on forever.

"Animal Farm" by George Orwell - it is a must read for any would be revolutionaries (includes the blueprints for how to stage it with all of its lofty ideals and why it eventually all falls into decay as time goes on and corruption takes over)

The soon to be published (keep your fingers crossed) "Poems From A Transgendered Heart" By Me (have your tissues handy!)

"Fables for Modern Times" by James Thurber

Love ya,

Sally

My favorite novel is From E to You by Chris d'Lacey and Linda Newbery, which no one else has every heard of and is a completely ridiculous YA novel about two kids jumping to increasingly insane conclusions about the relationships between their parents. IT IS AWESOME.

I also love The Jennifer Morgue by Charles Stross and The Gun Seller by Hugh Laurie.

I don't see him here, so I have to mention the novels of Vladimir Nabokov. I've read three. Lolita and Pale Fire were both extraordinary: like nothing else I've ever read and brilliantly written. Bend Sinister is also very interesting. I also like what I've read by David Foster Wallace; his book of short stories, Oblivion, is fantastic. I also read some cool essays by him in some collection that I forget the name of. One day I'd like to read his novel Infinite Jest, but it's supposed to be very difficult.

Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy(Douglas Adams just makes me laugh every page)and Animal Farm, nothing is better than a tale of the fall of a wonderful government style into Anarchy.

I'm pretty much into the classics when it comes to literature... "The Trial" by Franz Kafka and "The Forest of the Gods" by Balys Sruoga are probably my favourites. I also liked Nabokov's "Lolita" a lot.

My list of 'least favourite books' is a lot longer, thouhg :D I'm picky.

The Picture of Dorian Grey by Oscar Wilde and the LOTR trilogy by JRR Tolkien have forever been tied for my favourite novels.

I also adore everything by Isaac Asimov.

The Catcher in the Rye

Fingersmith - Sarah Waters

The Mists of Avalon (just the books in the series that MZB wrote)

LOTR

There's Nothing in This Book That I Meant to Say - Paula Poundstone

Used to be ashamed of the last one 'cause it wasn't a "guy" thing to read, but no more. I like what I like, and that's that! :)

Really want to read The Age of the Pussyfoot also.

      In my last session my therapist is starting to suggest that I need to start exploring my gender identity in a more tangible way through wearing feminine clothing at least during sessions.  I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around her seeing me actually en femme.   I love and trust her, but the thought of being visibly feminine is scaring (and thrilling) me.  Is this a common thing in gender therapy?  How do I get past the fear?  More importantly, what should I wear?

      USA doctors denounce Cass Report, support trans folks.  The Endocrine Society And American Academy Of Pediatrics Respond To Cass, Reject Bans. In recent weeks, the Cass Review out of the United Kingdom has been used to argue for bans on care. The Endocrine Society and American Academy of Pediatrics respond, rejecting such arguments. —Erin Reed https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/endocrine-society-and-american-academy?publication_id=994764&post_id=144592467&isFreemail=true&r=rebf4&triedRedirect=true

      Congratulations on your new family member!

      I felt the urge to date and felt just like a teenager again. I have recorded my journal titled Ashley's Life From Start to Present. I was very moody and agitated and happy. I think it was my body's way of being in shock. After about two months it got better. Remember that you aren't the only one transitioning because your wife is too. Consider yourself lucky because I lost mine because of it and so have many others. Just enjoy the ride.

      I'm sorry for asking so many questions about your situation. I'm in your camp and believe you should be able to be whoever you feel you need to be. I guess it the Union Shop Stewart coming out in me. I want you to be treated fairly as well as respectably. You're human, you're a client of theirs. Especially if you're paying money to be there.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Views, terminology, and aspects of how events came to be....aren't those directly related to the news item?  If not, I'm rather confused.

      Second warning, this has gotten far and apart from the NEWS item that it started out with and is becoming a flat out battleground over political leanings and terminology.

      Welcome to Lefty Land.... a festive theme park full of sparkles and unicorns, a perfect place except for one evil orange dragon wearing a blond wig.    I'm always amazed at the "flexibility" of definitions.  One person's f@scist seems like a centrist to others.  One person's "moderate" looks to others like the 2nd coming of Fidel Castro.  A normal marriage a century or two ago is now a criminal offense, and relationships that used to be a criminal offense are now open, normal marriages.  Pedophiles now want to be called "minor attracted persons" and teenagers are now defined as children.  A Republican in NY or CA would be a Democrat just about anywhere else.  I'm certainly no advocate for relativism, these are just observations.    What I find interesting about this Australian candidate is the attitude that he shouldn't be allowed to run for office.  Why?  Just because his views are different, or even offensive?  Who makes that determination?  Can an election really be open and fair if it is barred to candidates who are not "politically correct?"  Here in the USA, we can openly have candidates who are f@scist or any other thing they want to be, no real restrictions aside from eligibility requirements related to age, location, citizenship, and criminal record.

      @Birdie You certainly have more patience than I do.  I don't take it well if I get scolded.  Either I sulk or I get nippish.    We had a good Mother's Day here yesterday.  Quite an event, since 4 of my partners are mothers.  GF enjoys it a lot, because she's very (excessively?) proud of having produced her 5 kids.  Her eldest starts school this fall.  Amazing how time flies...
