The Amber Spyglass / Philip Pullman. The only way to deal with all my feelings re: this book, while maintaining a somewhat reasonable tone is to fall back on the good ol' open letter. If you haven't read this book, you should probably stay that way but still know that this is going to be spoiler-y. And so:. Dear Philip Pullman,. Was so good and The Subtle Knife. Either one or the both of us is confused here, Philip Pullman. Or a grown woman? Because it seems like you've maybe seen. Any In the first two b...

The Initiates / Etienne Davodeau. Everyone stop what you are doing and stop reading whatever comics you're reading and pick up The Initiates. Let's talk about the art: it's lovely. It's perfect. PERFECT I SAY. Take a gander at this here spread:. I am constantly astounded by what people can do with black, white, and grey. It's like the art in The Walking Dead. No colour, which is exactly right for the story. I think colour would take away from the story here. PS for those with an aim to diversify their re...

Tuesday, December 30, 2014. Medieval Women by Eileen Power: The medieval ages weren't a great time to be a woman. I've been eyeing the extremely short Medieval Women. By Eileen Power for a few years, and lo, it is finally finished. Eileen Power has her own Wikipedia page. Which is a collection of her lectures published after her death (and aw, was edited by her husband). 1 Medieval ideas about women. 3 The working woman in town and country. 4 The education of women. WHY should you care about this? During...

Reading Rambo: March 2015
http://www.reading-rambo.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 31, 2015. Villette continues: "Good-night, Dr. John; you are good, you are beautiful; but you are not mine" and other words a 16-year-old can relate to. Thisis a bonnet-grec. If you search "smoking cap" you will find a vast assortment of vaguely similar and horrifying hats. This is what M. Paul wears basically all the time. I feel like their relationship is one step from this song conversation. I'm not gay, I just like standing really close to girls. And make out with them sometimes.".

Reading Rambo: August 2015
http://www.reading-rambo.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 31, 2015. It's Hard to Finish Books, Y'Know? It's the last day of August, so let's look at what I've been reading and not finishing for the last couple months:. Empire of Sin: A Story of Sex, Jazz, Murder, and the Battle for Modern New Orleans. This is what I'm currently devoting the most time to, and I'm pretty into it. I can tell you about some major shit that went down in New Orleans at the turn of the century. Also there were prostitutes. A whole lotta prostitutes. Remember how I super...

Reading Rambo: The Roman Empire: A lot of stuff happened there probably I guess
http://www.reading-rambo.com/2015/07/the-roman-empire-lot-of-stuff-happened.html
Thursday, July 23, 2015. The Roman Empire: A lot of stuff happened there probably I guess. Should I know more shit about the Romans? I should probably know more shit about the Romans. It was just never emphasized. In my education. I've picked up most of what I know through osmosis, but I still have no idea about any emperors except "Nero and Caligula were bad, but maybe Nero wasn't that bad, but wait, he probably was." And Hadrian had a wall named after him. Hadrian was an emperor, right? And you have al...

Reading Rambo: How Jesus Became God: Bart Ehrman, I don't TRUST you
http://www.reading-rambo.com/2015/07/how-jesus-became-god-bart-ehrman-i-dont.html
Wednesday, July 22, 2015. How Jesus Became God: Bart Ehrman, I don't TRUST you. Bart Ehrman is an agnostic author who writes a lot. About early Christianity, usually with intended-to-provoke titles like Misquoting Jesus. My church book group has been going strong for maybe four years now. We started off reading about the Gnostic Gospels, and since then we've done Karen Armstrong's Case for God. Which I suggested and did not read); Prophetic Jesus, Prophetic Church. Read, loved). And now this! So there're...
