Reading Wednesday Thursday

What are you currently reading?
Joanna Russ's The Female Man, which we're reading right now for beer_marmalade. I'm having a really hard time getting into it?! Which is disappointing b/c I loved How to Suppress Women's Writing, although that wasn't fiction. So if anyone wants to leave comments about why you do/don't love Female Man, lmk. It might help me continue reading!

Kokoro by Natsume Soseki. This translation was done by Edwin McClellan. This book is the first in this box, which I won from Con or Bust this year. The protag is a university student in Tokyo, who makes friends with an older, pretty depressed man. The story takes place at the end of the Meiji era; I think it was published about 1912. 50 pages in, I became pretty certain how the story's going to end, & purposely spoiled myself for it because I haven't been in the greatest head space lately. Overall, I like it. And of course, I ship protag/Sensei.

What did you recently finish reading?
I Just Need Your Company by smc_27 - Pezberry friendship fic. Santana's holding the flame to the end of her cigar when Rachel throws her leg over the window sill, then pushes herself out.

between us we'll get you there by astano - Tina/Brittany/Santana. The first time Tina kisses Santana, she almost gets slapped.

A Very Pezberry Purim by brittanyisinlovewithsantana - Santana and Brittany crash Rachel’s dads’ Purim party.

Pezberry Drabble: Rachel's Damn Pyjamas by astano - Based on the pictures Lea tweeted one Friday from set.

Heinous fic by miggy about Rachel & Santana & Kurt living together Honorable mention for the size of Kurt's dick.

What will you read next?
WELP I'm focusing on those two books.
I'm also planning to check out this ATLA fic by traxits

I'd like to make my way through the rest of that box of Japanese books, & also the box of books I got from Small Beer Press (also via Con or Bust).

I think I've been saying "Janet" when I mean "Jeannine." :-(

I think I'm having a hard time keeping Janet v. Joanna v. Jeannine straight, which might be the biggest reason why I'm having a hard time falling into this book, lol.
