maribou | Strip Pyramids in Falling Boyland

Pyramids, by Terry Pratchett (reread)
Amusing, as expected. I very much enjoy the main character in this one.

Falling Leaves, by Adeline Yen Mah
This was sort of a strange reading experience. See, I'd already read her YA-level memoir, Chinese Cinderella and I thought this one was a sequel. But instead it more ... overlaps? The first 100+ pages cover the same territory the YA book did, but with much different emphases. Anyway, it was good.

Strip City, by Lily Burana
Feminist writer and ex-stripper decides to take one last year-long stripping 'tour' before settling down and getting married. This was actually really interesting. I thought it would just be a trashy, if smart, brain-rest (I'm still toiling away intermittently on the complete works of Euripides), but it was more interesting than that. She has an analytical way of looking at the most everyday things that fascinated me.

Babes in Boyland: A Personal History Of Co-education In The Ivy League, by Gina Barreca
This is the sort of story you'd get if you spent a couple of semesters coaxing your favorite professor to tell her life story in bits and pieces during class smoke breaks. Barreca was one of the first women admitted to Dartmouth, and focuses mainly on what it was like there for her, though she also gives one a strong sense of her family. Very well-crafted and worth a read.
