Although lately it's homo lit you have to be careful about. You may buy a book about driving a cattle herd to the rail head at Dodge City and it turns out the cowboy is more interested in the bartender than the bar girls.
I've read many females authors in the past, Coulter, Tuchmann, Christie, Rand, Harper Lee, etc., but I'm gun shy now.

Why the depopulation of parts of South America (eg illegal immigration is to keep the serfs from stealing gold).
Why 911. (World Trade Center basement had gold vault)
Why Vince Foster was killed. (He found out and they didn't want Hillary to know. She can't keep secrets.)
Why the 2 AK boys were killed and their bodies thrown on RR track to be crushed. (they saw gold bars being loaded on planes)
Why Nixon took the US off gold standard. (to use gold in Fort Knox)
Ancient (outer space) Aliens are forcing world governments to move gold to areas around Ecuador to straighten out the Earth tilt. This has been ongoing for over 40 years.

2. Hearing at HR department w/ union reps and lawyers.
3. Final notice of termination with all documents and check for pro-rated services.
Name 3 animals you've hunted.
------------------------
1. That big wolf spider that was in the tub. I killed it.
2. Those crickets in the cabin that I sucked up into the vacuum cleaner. I set the bag on fire. Just in case.
3. That little brown bird that got in the house. It took me all day long to shoo it out. I would have strangled it if I could.

Ask 70s feminists from the Bay Area how that works. Yeah, when you're in your 20s guys will roll over, sit up, play dead, and beg for it. BUT ... every dog has his day, and someday you won't be a prime cut (sp?) any more, you'll be utility or standard grade. And then, you won't be able to pull this shit any more, because guys' stock (read: income) has increased over time, whereas yours has decreased as you pass your sell-by date.
If you miscalculate the timing - which so many did - then you end up with a vibrator, a shitload of cats, and some Hillary! bumper stickers.

The first three got me laid in college in 1980, my mom was a big feminist and as a kid I read any book I could get my hands on. Lately I have been reading Flannery O'Connor which is a real pleasure but probably not what a feminazi would approve.

Oh great, my water faucet just started spitting air and it keeps coming. I've got some work cut out for me tomorrow. The well and submersible pump and tank system is 30+ years old, never gave one lick of trouble. I guess it's about time for failure.
It's dry here, but it's been drier and for longer. I'm hoping it's not a well going dry problem.
I guess I'll soon find out. I'm not in any shape to pull a damn I-can't-remember-how many 100s of feet of submersible pump pipe out of a damn well. I'll have to call somebody to do that if I have to.
Shit, shit, shit and double shit. It's Obama's fault, somehow. And Hillary's.

First I tell my daughter not to cozy up to a fellow you might think has the potential to drug you. Second I would tell her if that potential exists, don't accept a drink offer. Third, if you still decide to accept a drink offer , you need to go with the fellow to the bar instead of making him go through the hassle alone . Finally , if you still insist on being such a inconsiderate person, at least don't make your request in front of everyone. Lucky I didn't tell her exactly what I wanted to.

In fact that last book I read by a female author was Uprooted by Naomi Novik which I really enjoyed. It's classic fantas
That's pretty funny because two of the women authors that I immediately thought of that I really enjoy write in that genre - Anne McCaffrey and Mercedes Lackey. Though I suppose you could argue that their stuff has a lot of fantasy elements (now that I think about it, Lackey is fantasy and not sci-fi).

If it's continuous air pockets coming, that keep coming, that usually means the pump is sucking air, meaning the well is going dry.
You can have crazy air sucking conditions somehow as well, but if the air is continuous, well, I'm gonna have a well digger outfit out here doing something. There's some tricks they can do. I forget, but some times wells get plugged with silt. That is, the "veins" letting water flow in get clogged up.
IIRC, they've used explosives before down in the hole to blow things out. And then there's drilling deeper. And then there's drill a new well. Which depends on lots of things, mostly guessing. You can spend money quickly trying to fix a well.

She answered specific questions I had asked, mentioned that she had been born and raised in Milwaukee too, and complimented me on my drawing.

He's not lying. The supply of men looking for a good woman hasn't gone down, but the number of good women has dropped precipitously, since the RadFems have ruined so many. The result is that most women of any particular value go off the market quickly and stay that way, unless they're very shy. It's hard to meet the shy ones by definition.

True. It is a sad statement that such caution is now required.
Posted by: ManWithNoParty at July 13, 2016 09:51 PM (YLidQ)
Is it really required, though? This reminds me of parents who don't let their kids play in the yard because some pedo might snatch them. Yeah, okay, it's possible, theoretically. But how likely is it?
When women go to the cops claiming to have been drugged, there's nothing but alcohol 85% of the time. You're doing more to protect your daughters if you teach them to drink responsibly than teaching them to be wary of drugs.

Oh yeah. Steinbeck is not my favorite by a long shot, but that one is especially bad. If you want to introduce a kid to Steinbeck's novels, at least choose "East of Eden" which has a hell of a villain to hold your interest.
"Silas Mariner" was torment for me also.

I just want a fighter. IIRC, Pence caved after he got blowback on a religious liberty conscience/ protection law there and gave in to all the usual bullies. I'd rather have Christie honestly than Pence. Pence has shown no ability to fight back against media scrutiny and seems like he needs advice and counseling to figure out how to answer a basic question. His hemming and hawing and waiting until the last minute to endorse anyone in the primary was more proof of this. He said mild praise for Cruz and then went and said nicer things about Trump. It was non-endorsement fake endorsement to me.

Every decision Pence has ever made has been solely for pursual of the Presidency.
It's not out of duty or moral conscience or love of country...it's because he has one singular goal, and President is it. So, anything that does not affect his Road to the White House...he just doesn't care and he doesn't try.
RFRA- the only reason for that was because he wanted it to play out nationally to the tea party folks.

Your far-right friends hate him but he will get "the conservative wing?" (???)
I wouldn't worry that much about "the conservative wing" anyway. Most of them will fall in line, just as they always do, and vote against the Dem. The small minority who loathe Trump too much to vote for him will not be swayed by any VP.
The people Trump has to pick up are the squishes, the "moderates," the millions who voted for Romney and LIKED him. I think Pence would appeal to them as much as anyone who has been a serious contender --- and MUCH more than Newt or Christie.

I really liked the horror monster investigation aspect of the early books, and the later book that was pretty much entirely devoted to Edward, but eventually it was just all about her pursuit of the next bit of one-ups-manship.

Because we here KNOW him and his governing and his policies. That was my point. Conservatives nationally will be duped, sure. But, those of us who have had the privilege of being under his governorship think differently.
Again, you are making my point. If conservatives will fall into line, or just not vote, why not go for a moderate...or heck, a conservative-leaning Democrat? If you need squishies, pick a squishy! If you lose Independents, not only do you lose those votes, the opponent will gain those votes. Independent votes are more valuable than far-right ones...I'm sorry, they just are.
Further, I have no idea how moderates or squishies would be likely to embrace Pence. It's not about voters....it's about states. When I look at the math, I don't think Pence picks up any battleground states for Trump.

Look at any magazine store and the female section is all books on makeup and weddings. Go to the male section and there are cars, buildings, science, history, fiction, etc.

In that end, that's okay, isn't it? Because dating is all about filtering out people who aren't right for you. In all seriousness I'm perfectly happy having a woman ask a question like this - obviously we're not right for each other, and there's no point in wasting more time figuring it out.

Western Feminist are making the only good argument for Islam.
If they don't watch out they might get it, then we male "converts" won't have to concern ourselves with what women say at all. How does that work out for "girl power". If the Western feminist keep shaping our civilization we will be getting a lot more Islam anyway, might as well get ahead of the curve.

From what I've read, that series took that turn in a reflection of what was going on in Hamilton's sex life at the time.
Richard the werewolf was introduced when Hamilton met a guy she really liked and got engaged to him. Their relationship fell apart around the time Micah was introduced. And Hamilton takes criticism of that sudden change in the tone of series very, very personally.
Anita Fan: I don't know if I really like Anita anymore; she seems so different now.
Laurell: Well, fuck you; I don't want people like you reading my books, anyway.
It makes sense, if you look at how Anita's appearance is described in the books, and then flip to the "About the Author" page and see that photo of Laurell. Anita is Laurell.

You know maybe if Conservatives pretended to love Islam the left would take fighting Jihad seriously. Heck they might go full Trump on Islamic immigration. I concluded long ago the left hates everything patriotic Americans like. So if we like freedom, they hate freedom. If we like guns, they hate guns. It is really predictable...

Thank you, Laurell K. Hamilton, for making it clear
on your blog that you don't want guys like me reading your books,
anyway. Sure took a load off my mind!

From what I understand, her personal life took a turn for the trainwreck. Her writing went straight to hell after that.

Hell, I've never even heard of her, or her books. And a quick peruse of wiki makes me think she's a cut-rate, feminist hack Jim Butcher copycat.

This is actually a good question:
The Good Earth
I am mostly coming up Dickens, Shakespeare, and Hemingway after that.

Same. I easily had more assigned reading from female authors than male authors.
Oh, and add George Sand too (to Eliot and Triptree).

Odd thing, Butcher came after she was published for about 6 novels, if I remember.
In the old, old days of '97ish to '99 there was a email list discussion for her. He was on it. He was also working on his first couple of novels in the Dresden books at the time.
He had a lot of really good comments. I bowed out when her stuff started to go downhill, so I do not know if he stuck around. Seemed like a really good guy.

Had to read:
Alias Grace, Beloved, Paradise, Their Eyes Were Watching God, Wuthering Heights, Jane Erye, Pride and Prejudice, To Kill A Mockingbird. Uncle Tom's Cabin back in middle school. And I'm sure I'm forgetting some.

Squrimeid my skinny ass, AGAINST the crowd and took the El home!
Never been a fan of crowds since.
Have been aghast at people who show up in Times Square for New Year's eve, for 2 decades.
Sounds perfectly AWFUL, best case.
Anyone who shows up for a "peaceful" BLM rally/riot, gets what they deserve.
"Hey, there is a potential RIOT gonna happen!"
Uhm, no thanks!
Not me, certainly not my kids!!!

Ok, To Kill a Mockingbird and Uncle Tom's cabin, yes. We did not have to go so deep into the others though.

But, I do know people who know Butcher. And they all think he's an awesome guy.

I found I agreed. In the books the author made a rather amateur mistake, He told us of the unraveling of Sharpe's second marriage instead of showing it to us. In the TV adaptation that unraveling was done as a process than unfolded over a course of four episodes, which was more effective.

I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings
The Handmaid's Tale
I wouldn't tell her that I needed a couple of electives outside my major in college and I wanted something I knew I could sleepwalk my way to an A in so I picked women's studies.
The irony of her dates not being able to answer this question is that you KNOW she and her friends only date male feminists.

Ach. Another soul-crushing book I had to read in high school. Looking back I'm thinking if not for Heinlein and Tolkien I probably would have stopped reading altogether.

The book (I think it was a short story) commentary:
... you do what you have to do to survive.
... true friendship. (Monkees ... buy me a dog...)
... don't assume you know who a person from another culture will choose if forced to choose.
I didn't sit all way through the movie.
Wouldn't read the short story again.

That's really your only choice with George Eliot, since she only wrote two not-very-interesting short stories, all her novels are 400+ pages, and the best one (Middlemarch) is also (I think) the longest at 800 pages. So her one novella, Silas Marner, is on every list, even though it's kind of dull.
Heart of Darkness is always used to represent Conrad, partly because of the race/colonialism theme, but partly because it's a convenient length. Too bad, because it takes forever to get moving, as I recall. I think boys, at least, would much rather read The Secret Agent, about a lazy, cowardly Frenchman who runs a porn-and-political-propaganda store in London and is a paid Russian agent. Things get messy when they order him to start earning his pay by blowing up the Greenwich Observatory. High-class literature and a real page-turner: what more do you want?
With Edith Wharton, again they go for the novella, when her novels and short stories are (so I gather) so much better. If they don't have room in the schedule for The House of Mirth or The Age of Innocence or The Custom of the Country, they'd be far better off with 3-5 well-selected short stories. There are dozens of good ones to choose from. I particularly like "After Holbein", though it probably wouldn't attract younger readers. "A Bottle of Perrier" is another good one, set in the North African desert. As with The Secret Agent, boys might actually find it worth reading.
