There's this book by Phillip Jose Farmer called "Dayworld" about these people who are put into suspended animation six days a week all their lives. The main character has multiple personalities I believe.

I just read Nineteen Eighty-Four and it was excellent, as was the Picture of Dorian Gray before that. I also read Equus, which was an interesting if odd play.
I'm currently reading Animal Farm, which has been good so far.

Just got and started reading 'Yes Means Yes: Visions Of Female Sexual Power and a World Without R@pe' an anthology edited by Jessica Valenti and Jaclyn Friedman. Still reading LOTR too, but I remember it better than I thought I did so I feel like I'm just skimming through some parts.
Also got VegNews magazine ^_^

I am in the midst of reading goddesses in everywoman...it explains 7 greek goddesses and how they are manifested in women within this patriarchal culture.. I relate most to artemis goddess of the wilderness and aphrodite goddess of art, and sensuality......

Didn't Athena say men were superior to women or something? I vaguely remember her being chauvinistic. A lot of them were, really.
