Female Chauvinist Pigs: Women and the Rise of Raunch Culture by Ariel Levy

Azuline, January 26, 2010

This book changed the way I think about feminism, pop culture, and myself. Ariel Levy's exploration of Girls Gone Wild, Playboy, and the sexual revolution are sometimes hilarious, sometimes downright frightening. Altogether a quick, enjoyable, illuminating read.

Valencia by Michelle Tea

Azuline, July 4, 2009

Valencia is a fast paced book that takes you straight into the stream of consciousness of the main character as she explores a lesbian underworld of SF that many of us won't experience, but chocked full of thoughts, feelings and emotions that most young women can relate to.

Brain Quest Grade 1 by Chris Welles Feder

Azuline, June 30, 2009

Brain Quest is an exciting and fun way for kids (and sometimes the adults that play with them!) to learn. I used these cards in elementary school, and have given them as gifts to several of my younger cousins. Framed as a game, trivia in the form of multiple choice, memorization and reading comprehension improve knowledge in a variety of subjects (math, history, spelling, etc) and effectively prepares kids for the form of standardized testing they will encounter through out their academic career.

What You Don't Know Can Keep You Out of College: A Top Consultant Explains the 13 Fatal Application Mistakes and Why Character Is the Key to College A by Don Dunbar

Azuline, June 29, 2009

I was impressed with this book by Don Dunbar, more than any of the other million books with advice on how to get in to your number 1 choice school. Dunbar's 13 mistakes are laid out chapter by chapter with anecdotes, bad examples, good examples, and a summary of the key points he's made at the end of each chapter. It's easy to read, and the lay out keeps an otherwise stressed out student from being overwhelmed with the information. Dunbar's humor is a great relief, and his advice is solid. He warns against selling yourself short, clichéd essays, and framing yourself as a sum of your achievements. These mistakes seem common sense, but are all too easy to slip into if one isn't aware. I would highly recommend this book to college applicants, whether they think they need it or not.
