Fiction: I love mysteries by Laurie R. King (esp. the theology, and
Mary Holmes being so much younger than Sherlock)and Jacqueline
Winspear ( a multi-faceted main character who is sensitive to
issues of social class). Did you read Cutting for Stone by Abraham
Verghese .. (I loved the AfterBird :) Jo-Ann Mapson writes so well
about women. Alexander McCall Smith - the ones set in Scotland. Of
course Stieg Larsson! The youth/adult novel by Jan Donley called
"The Side Door" - fabulous! And when is Dorothy Allison's She Who
coming out?!!
Movies ... not so much, but The King's Speech moved me deeply. Old
ones .... Notting Hill (I so identified with him!); Finding Nemo
... Ellen, more please!;those Madagascar lemurs :) Documentaries:
Out in Silence; Your Mom's a Lesbian; Two Spirits; and go to his
website and order Doin' Time in the Homo Nomo Halfway House by
Peterson Toscano!
No TV but I watch things on my laptop: Rachel Maddow - yes!! - and
Democracy Now; Bones, Body of Proof, Castle, Chuck, Lie to
Me.
Music - classical, folk, country, praise. So .... Mozart, Gorecki,
and Thomas Stumpf (he's alive!); the Story, The Weird sisters,
Indigo Girls, Eve Cassidy, Mary Chapin Carpenter; Carolyn McDade,
Jennifer Berezan, Bluegrass Gospel Project.
Food. Ah yes .... cook vegetarian peasant, sometimes fish; summer
fruits are coming! Still eat meat sometimes when I go out to
dinner.
