[su[shu]] The PowerBook - Jeanette Winterson | su[shu]: I am near half done with Powerbook-This is my first book by Winterson-I am really intrigued by her writing style-I think the book is in part about how stories create our lives-If I can formulate anything about it (in the space of a blog post) I will post on it soon-glad to see this post-

[OMG. OMG! OMFG! Digital Meets Analog, by AV Flox] OMG. OMG. OMFG.: If there is any phrase that summarizes what enabled us to advance as far as we have, it’s “question everything.” Yet as more information becomes available to us via the web, we wander farther and farther away from this concept.

[The Sheila Variations] The Sheila Variations: The Books: "The PowerBook' (Jeanette Winterson): My husband was scarcely four feet tall and as twisted in body as Paolo was straight. These things need not have been laid to his fault, but his heart was his own making and his heart was as unformed by kindness as his body had been neglected by beauty.

[Asylum] Jeanette Winterson: The Stone Gods « Asylum: After a breakneck first half, where the jokes turn to high drama, the book suddenly switches to another mode, goes all Cloud Atlas on us, and just as we’re settling in to that, we go back into what seems to be Billie and Spike’s past, which is only a little way into our future.  Winterson fits so much into 200 pages that I kept checking back to ensure the book was numbered properly.  Even when she’s hectoring us, providing too-neat allegories, or devolving at the end into a drawn-out eulogy on love (familiar to readers of any of her last four or five books), her lyrical gift, always her greatest strength (“hostile atmospheres, captured in jars and swirling like genies”), is so immense that I found it impossible not to drum my heels in merriment more or less throughout.

[bibliographing] Sexing the Cherry by Jeanette Winterson | bibliographing: I do think she hit a barren patch about ten years ago with stuff like Gut Symmetries and The Powerbook but otherwise she’s been remarkably fresh and consistent for 25 years now. I really liked her last one, The Stone Gods, even if it did end with a rambling section on love which seems broadly autobiographical –

[OMG. OMG! OMFG! Digital Meets Analog, by AV Flox] There Is Always A City - OMG. OMG. OMFG.: Back in the days when basic knowledge of HTML was required to carve a space on the web, and when very few people really knew it, GeoCities gave us n00b pioneers the ability to get ourselves started without too many complications, as well as helped us connect with others through “neighborhoods,” a feature of GeoCities that subdivided its users into categories (Paris for romance and the arts, SoHo for the hipsters and the arts, SunsetStrip for music, SouthBeach for intensive socializing, etc.).

[Nottington University] The Toronto Triangle Program ~ a Globe and Mail article ...: Yes, this country has become famous for its gay-friendly laws, especially last year’s ruling in Ontario that allowed same-sex marriages. That alone catapulted Canada to the top rung as a tolerant nation, setting a precedent that cities such as San Francisco are trying to follow and prompting the stodgy Economist magazine to dub Canada “rather cool.”

[Manuel L. Quezon III: The Daily Dose] The Great Book Blockade of 2009: Timeline and Readings (Victory ...: For some book authors and academics, the move to add more taxes to books would add more burden to the handful of book buying Filipinos, and to students who are required to buy books for their courses.  “This will totally kill reading culture,” tells Dr. Elizabeth Morales-Nuncio, who teaches with the University of the Philippines-Diliman Asian Center.  As a writer of textbooks and co-author to the Philippine cultural studies book Sangandiwa, she reiterates that books today are already expensive, and the added expense would just backlash, instead of providing benefits to the publishing industry.  “We’re not even sure where the taxes would go.  Publishing won’t even reap anything from it for sure,” she adds.  Nuncio even predicts the prevalence of what she calls a “photocopying culture” in schools, which clearly doesn’t help anybody.  “This is the only way they can access the imported books, we can’t do anything about it.  With the tax, we’re just discouraging people to read.  Authors and publishers won’t get paid.”
