You know what I don't want to read right now? A student's five-page paper on how awesome Titanic is. And yet, here I am.

I'll trade you for what I'm reading for a book study:

Common Core Mathematics In A PLC At Work

Ch. 5: Implementing Required Response To Intervention

The Old Patagonian Express by Paul Theroux

From another paper: "The main character, Alex, and his best friend, Sammy, chug a bear as two girls enter the room and they have a mini party in their room."

My marginal comment was, of course: "A bear???"

Titanic is pretty great, tho

i've known plenty of RMers who were felled by tragic zealism

Nice wordplay, bro

I forget, did I tell y'all I was reading Seating Arrangements by Maggie Shipstead? Well I am.

My favorite "review" on Goodbooks so far, "The whitest book I read this year, and I read The Marriage Plot."

Maggie has the gift, though. She can fucking write.

I was reading this Buzzfeed list, If You Like This Book By A Man, You’ll Love This Book By A Woman and thought to myself, I read plenty of female authors. Then I went to my book collection and realized all I had for female writers was The Fountainhead and a book of poetry I had to buy for a class (which I like and ended up keeping).

So my next book is going to be something by Annie Moore. Who are the best female authors out there?

Margaret Atwood is my all time favorite writer of any gender. So, yeah, check her out.

Also (in no particular order):

Toni Morrison
Doris Lessing
Maggie Shipstead
Rachel Kushner
Barbara Kingsolver
Virginia Woolf
Maya Angelou
Sylvia Plath
Alice Monroe
Zadie Smith
Joyce Carol Oates
Amy Hempel

That should getcha started.
