#ReadWomen 2024 First Quarter
I have a goal of reading as many books by women as I possibly can. Here is a list of what I read January-March 2024.
Ironically, the first book I read this year was by a man (Raymond Carver) and I hated it. Some of the stories were decent, and I only read it because I love Time Ain't Accidental by Jess Williamson (she sings about reading Raymond Carver by the pool bar like a lady).
Tell Me Pleasant Things about Immortality: Stories by Lindsay Wong was brutal and dark but I enjoyed it much.
- What We Talk About When We Talk About Love: Stories by Raymond Carver
- White Cat, Black Dog: Stories by Kelly Link
- This Woman’s Work: Essays on Music edited by Sinéad Gleeson and Kim Gordon
- Silver Nitrate by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
- Irma Voth by Miriam Toews
- This is what it sounds like: what the music you love says about you by Susan Rogers and Ogi Ogas
- Beloved by Toni Morrison
- Tell Me Pleasant Things about Immortality: Stories by Lindsay Wong
- A Complicated Kindness by Miriam Toews
- Funny Weather: Art in an Emergency by Olivia Laing
- Unearthing: A Story of Tangled Love and Family Secrets by Kyo Maclear
I would say of all these that This Woman’s Work: Essays on Music edited by Sinéad Gleeson and Kim Gordon was my favourite, I got so much from so many of the essays.
