It was outright gut wrenching (besides Dom Paulo) at times, especially the third part. I don't know how a man can write such a beautiful, theologically-driven narrative about hope vs suicide, only to abandon his faith towards the end of his life and kill himself. PTSD really got the poor sod.
I would read their book. It would be ghost written very carefully and so probably wouldn't have a ton of insights into the more horrific parts of their experiences, but there would be little flakes of freakshow gold in there that could prove valueable. Unlike 99.999% of women they've actually faced adversity in their life?/lives?. They're probably extremely sheltered froma lot of it but it's not something completely avoidable in their situation.
It includes Tove Janssons Moomins, Camille Paglias Sexual Personae, Hildergard of Bingen, Sue Prideaux biography of Munch, and Hannah Arendt, so yeah some at least are worth reading
Others are all non-fiction, synthesis of other peoples work
I can't think of any off the top of my head, but the American Psycho movie screenplay was written and directed by a woman so they're capable of something in this direction
Women are known to be pretty good qith movies. Lilian Gish and the woman who directed Triumph of The Will were both awesome directors. I feel like everyone in this thread forgot about Mary Shelly for some reason though
I don't care who has written a book. The Treasure-Crap-Ratio is pretty much the same as with male authors. I. e. this one is pretty good. But then again there's trash like Twilight, 50 Shades of grey, Harry Potter or even worse Atlas Shrugged.
>Do you guys read books written by women?
Non-fiction?
I don't track specifically, but here are those I've recently read and whom I'm able to recall:
Jane Ellen Harrison - Prolegomena to the study of Greek religion (1908)
Hilda Ellis Davidson - Myths and Symbols in Pagan Europe. Early Scandinavian and Celtic Religions (1988)
Nora Chadwick - The Celts (1998)
Sharon Paice MacLeod - Celtic Myth and Religion (2011)
Noriko Yasumura - Greek deity Zeus. Challenges to the power of Zeus in early Greek poetry (2011)
Brittany Erin Schorn - Speaker and Authority in Old Norse Wisdom Poetry (2017)
Sandra Huebenthal - Reading Mark's Gospel as a Text from Collective Memory (2020)
Jóhanna Katrín Friðriksdóttir - Valkyrie. The Women of the Viking World (2020)
etc.
Kinda newbie here been lurking for a year . Thats a meme right ? i mean is there a person here who unironically will not read women ? Virginia wolf is no cap bussin and Mieko Kawakami is too hot to have her writing ignored
I'm not a fricking misogynist, if a woman writes something good then I'll read it, just like if a cat paints a beautiful painting I'll give it a look see, but I'm not going around handing out paintbrushes to cats now am I?
Ha. Can you imagine of this were true? What a weird world some people live in.
Glad I’ve read some of the greats. So, when do we turn this into a recommendation thread?
I avoid them
I read one, once.
Interview with the Vampire.
It was meh.
I generally try to avoid women authors.
>I read some trash once
>posts pol
Checks out
You will never be a woman.
Only if they pretend to be men.
Again?
Moderator needs to put these in LULZ where they belong
You mod your subreddit however you want to homosexual hall monitor.
>Let us shit all over your board , NERRRD
No, actively avoid anything written by women or non-whites.
sounds like you have a fetish for white males.
>No, actively avoid anything written by women or non-whites.
what are spaniards to you?
Spaniards and protugese are proof that non whites can be based
Not really, but I just finished reading pic rel which also has a two-headed woman.
Great book. Just finished it a few weeks ago. I didn't expect it to be as moving as it was.

I might actually read this. Ive just lost my faith and am on the verge of suicide
frick, I've read that and I don't remember her at all

would it count as a threesome?
Yeah.
Asking the important questions. They're legally two different people but there's only one set of all the important bits. 2.25some?
Legit
No, you require three reproductive system in order to be a threesome.
About treefiddy
I have 557 books in my library, out of them only 22 were written by women
Thats 4%
Are those 22 books worth reading?
It includes Tove Janssons Moomins, Camille Paglias Sexual Personae, Hildergard of Bingen, Sue Prideaux biography of Munch, and Hannah Arendt, so yeah some at least are worth reading

I really like Angela Carter and Shirley Jackson
Shirley Jackson is solid.
I'm gonna start neapolitan books
Finally a women with a full mind
Are there any women who write transgressive fiction like Bret Easton Ellis or Houellebecq? Are they capable of it?
I can't think of any off the top of my head, but the American Psycho movie screenplay was written and directed by a woman so they're capable of something in this direction

>two examples
lmao no lady feed your cats

Pretty decent scholarship, I would say,
Kinda newbie here been lurking for a year . Thats a meme right ? i mean is there a person here who unironically will not read women ? Virginia wolf is no cap bussin and Mieko Kawakami is too hot to have her writing ignored
Lol nice bait
Most of the authors I read are male but I couldn't give less of a crap if they were all women
I have only read Plato by Clarence Meinwald and it was pretty much dogshit, so no
I'm not a fricking misogynist, if a woman writes something good then I'll read it, just like if a cat paints a beautiful painting I'll give it a look see, but I'm not going around handing out paintbrushes to cats now am I?
>if a woman writes something good
Never gonna happen (if it's fiction)
Ha. Can you imagine of this were true? What a weird world some people live in.
Glad I’ve read some of the greats. So, when do we turn this into a recommendation thread?
my favorite book is written by a woman ama. also the sexual life of Katherine m is kino
Sometimes, just for gags.
Never ever. There is way too much mundane details and conversations or opinions characters have about each other
I’ve read a couple including pic rel I don’t actively avoid female authors they just don’t write many books that I’m interested in
