Summer Reading List Smackdown
Did you notice? President Bush’s summer reading list contained almost no books by, or about, women. By contrast, my summer reading list had 18 books by women and 10 by men. The books were about boys, girls, men, women, a baby, a pseudo-hermaphrodite, plus a china bunny, more than one mouse, a dog, and a tiger. Unlike me, he read non-fiction. I finished 28 books, one more than he did, though my list was about 3/4 young adult titles, so my books were likely shorter than his.
