What White Supremacy? by siddy Pros: Elegant thesis, incredible research and analysis of the effects of white supremacy in California

Protest and Sacrifice of the Butterflies by siddy Pros: Intimate, believable story of courageous young women in the face of oppression
Cons: The early part of the novel was a tad slow reading. What makes "chick lit" so compelling? Is it because it's mostly written by women for women? Is it because its recurring themes are universally shared among people of all cultures? Is it because it highlights women's frailty in the ...

People We've Never Met: Marion Winik, "The Glen Rock Book of the Dead" by scmrak Pros: damn, but this woman can write!
Cons: she sure knew lots of addicts (who provided plenty of fodder for her essays)...
