Re: “From Coal Country to America's Poorest Town

I haven't read the book... but considering Hedges' history with Occupy, I wonder whether his failure to provide readers with some alternative or solution isn't deliberate. After all, Occupy doesn't propose to lead people to a new world, but rather tries to inspire them to lead themselves to it - and to reuse a cliche, the first step to revolution is admitting there's a problem.

Re: “DIY Plumbing, Facials, and Terrariums

ReadyMade teaches the basics and helps a lot in trying to cope of with some small tailoring requirements. I loved Stitch 'N Bitch as it taught me basics too and not only that, but also i made a dress for my daughter after learning from it. Very nice guidance if followed in sequence.

Re: “Kitchen Keeper

I THINK IT'S A MYTH THAT PEOPLE ACTUALLY OWN COPIES OF GRASTRONOMIQUE. I'VE NEVER SEEN ONE ON SOMEONE'S COOKBOOK SHELF.

Re: “Enslavement and Liberation

SAVE ME WHITE PEOPLE! Gawd, this book is such Orientalist schlock. I am not surprised Powells Books featured his culturally-appropriating ass for months. Has he even met any brown people? This IS Portland, after all.

Re: “Ting Tang Cthulhu Cthulhu Bing Bang

Just by this: As Seifert says in the afterword, "The really classic, lasting monsters—vampires, zombies, and werewolves—are all disease metaphors." Sounds frikin huge amazing.

Re: “My Half-Year of Lady Memoirs

I never thought I'd find one other person who thought about genteel nonfiction this way. During my matriculation through a MFA program in Cambridge, MA (my genre was creative nonfiction), I discovered this Lady memoir track. Whew. Yeah. Tragic quilting stories, lots of them. Thanks.
