  • Need recommendations! Books that are truly well-written

    I'm looking for fiction books that have beautiful writing. It doesn't have to be deep, just well written (you can tell I've had my share of disappointments recently 🥲). Examples: Eragon, the vegetarian, flights, most of the classics. I would also like something that's not set in the USA (I've had a lot of that recently and I'm European so I'm looking for another perspective). Also looking for something that's compatible with feminist values, in terms of how women are depicted (looking at you, male authors who've never talked with a woman). I'm open to weird stuff, the genre doesn't matter that much. So hit me up with your favourites please! 💓

    My advice: Read rather than listen

    I'm almost halfway through and I do think I'm going to have to reread this once I get a copy of the book. I feel like I'm missing out on a lot of her writing style, and that's half the reason why I wanted to read it in the first place.

    Thoughts from 62% chap 13: unnamed incident

    For anyone else like me who is unaware of the “incident” Dunham refers to in this chapter (SA TRIGGER):

    During Hollywood’s Me Too movement, actress Aurora Perrineau accused Girl’s screen writer Murray Miller of r***ing her when she was 17. Jenny and Lena came out with the below statement:

    • During the windfall of deeply necessary accusations over the last few months in Hollywood, we have been thrilled to see so many women’s voices heard and dark experiences in this industry justified. It’s a hugely important time of change and, like every feminist in Hollywood and beyond, we celebrate. But during every time of change there are also incidences of the culture, in its enthusiasm and zeal, taking down the wrong targets. We believe, having worked closely with him for more than half a decade, that this is the case with Murray Miller. While our first instinct is to listen to every woman’s story, our insider knowledge of Murray’s situation makes us confident that sadly this accusation is one of the 3 percent of assault cases that are misreported every year. It is a true shame to add to that number, as outside of Hollywood women still struggle to be believed. We stand by Murray and this is all we’ll be saying about this issue.*

    Veeeeerrrryyy confused why Jenny wanted to insert herself in this situation at all, much less get Lena to sign off on this statement. Seems on Reddit people are very skeptical that Lena “doesn’t remember” this episode. I don’t know what to believe re Lena consciously making this statement or not , but either way feels icky to me that they felt the need to quickly come to his defense and get involved in something they had no business getting involved in.
