I recommend purchasing used books from the library, especially if they sell donated books, and not just library discards. I picked up all of these for a cool five bucks.

@mk30 @lunalein @bookstodon First, I read commercial genre science fiction and fantasy. Many don't consider those "literature", even though there's fine writing in many books. How-to books can be brilliant, it's a case of choosing relevant subjects and selecting a legitimate "expert". Then I am taught and learn lots.

@quietmarc @StorieswithaWill @CuriousMagpie @bookstodon Love Becky Chambers, but not that novella. Love The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet and A Closed and Common Orbit. They are comfort reads for me, books I return to when I need reminding that not everything that gets published is full of blood, killing, and gore.

@l0ve30 @DarkMatterZine @EclecticLee @negative12dollarbill @thevglibrary @bookstodon It depends. If the work is misogynistic, then no, this isn't the right response. It does need challenging, sometimes with rage. Sometimes just saying it isn't for us and walking away isn't the right response.
