Court

The one I read was from 2002, I wonder if there are other editions. It's decent.

More about Gloria than Anderson. Also, Anderson is very much the interviewer, he's fairly direct and usually makes declarative sentences. He sound like he's reading from index cards or a teleprompter.

The woman's life is a fictional account, but I've marked it as nonfiction because it is set against a background of facts that are cited.
I hadn't realized that the gender pay gap in Korea (women making about 63 percent of a man's wage) was about the same for the US, which varies also on race.

Little book of opposites. Might also be good for clear examples of colors.

Meh.

Very sweet, with a heartfelt afterward from LeVar.I love that he's so considerate. He's worried that he would not be able to pull off a love story between two women and he wanted to do the story justice as he views reading the story as love letter of sorts to his daughter.This story can also be found in [b:GlitterShip: Spring 2017 36008257 GlitterShip Spring 2017 Keffy R.M.

Read on Hoopla, unfortunately could only see certain layers. I loved Huda's attitude; her dedication to herself and her values, her willingness to see her parents as allies, and her openness to hear advice about love/marriage and to make connection.

Might be a resource for clients/families

I'm sure I've read this classic short story before in some form, but gave it a re-read. Going through a bit of a classic short story phase.

So glad I sought this out as I likely would have read some form of retelling. The delicious foreshadowing/atmosphere in the very beginning in the form of a chess game.

For those who also enjoyed ‘The Most Dangerous Game'.

Ugh the tone is all over the place, she has numerous quotes and anecdotes and many of them aren't really relevant and it feels like padding and/or name dropping —showing off in poor taste. I struggled through the introduction and she's not someone I'd want “have a beer with”. I felt like rolling my eyes. I did not enjoy when she talked about herself.

I've had this book for a good while, I was so looking forward to it and I thought it would be nice accompaniment to my other Language/linguistics book I've been reading recently. However, the writing - or perhaps it's the editing - is poor. Who is her audience? What is her purpose? Because it sounds like she's trying - and failing - to impress me AND come off as self deprecating. She comes off as desperate, stuffy, awkward, disorganized...

Decent.
Seems like he's having fun, like he's his own audience.

Nice parody of a children's book that's still child friendly.

I imagine this would make a great monologue.
I both delighted in this and cringed at this. Delighted because I enjoyed this kind of ambiguity, is this internal stream of consciousness the thoughts of a woman with OCD or some sort of disorder — is she a reliable narrator, or is this a woman who is suffering in an abusive relationship? Cringe because this could be termed the worse case of ‘wait by the phone' ever and also recognize the anxiety/neuroticism/insecurity as one of my biggest fears that that's what I'll be reduced to — my personal hell, like ‘The Yellow Wallpaper'.

Some have marked it as humor, but it could also be viewed as horror.
