Tue, March 15, 2005 - 12:39 PMMoosh's future novels would definitely be in there. Let's write a film/tv script! An "L Word" episode? -

Re: GR Library Picks
Tue, March 15, 2005 - 5:04 PMmeow! A ecotopian reality tv show! I don't even own a tv and I'd watch that! Heck yeah, I am in just for the fun of filming the pilot episode! Now do we have any credible playwrights and producers to make a script into reality here? Its be a cool collaborative project!
I will mock up a script.

Re: GR Library Picks
Tue, March 15, 2005 - 5:16 PMnow to the topic of this thread. I will put piction and nonfiction into two categories. And these books are not specifically ABOUT GR but their stories and characters reflect the shared values of a well balanced society.
FICTION
Ecotopia-ernest callenbach (of course)
The Travails of Jane Saint - josephine saxton
The Adventures of Alyx - Joanna Russ (see her non-fiction too!)
NON-FICTION
Slaying the Mermaid - Stephanie Golden (Amazing account of women throught history, really very insightful)
How to Suppress Womens Writing - Joanna Russ
Anything by the publisher The Women's Press.
Ok, that's enough before I start to go off topic....
there is another sci fi one that is key, will post later.
Moosh

Re: GR Library Picks
Wed, March 16, 2005 - 8:49 PMI heartily reccomend Ecotopia Emerging to you all, by Ernest Callenbach, it covers the life of a teenage girl scientist who sparks the energy revolution that enables the success of the ecotopian revolution. It takes place a decade before the original book Ecoptopia. -

Re: GR Library Picks
Fri, June 16, 2006 - 10:52 PMOoo Joanna Russ is a good one! So is "Chalice and the Blade"
I would say Naomi Wolf's "Promiscuities" is a must read
I also like "Reviving Ophelia" by Mary Pipher and "Raising Cain"...Dan Kindlon? I recommend reading both of these back to back.
"Way of the Peaceful Warrior"
Osho's "Intimacy"

Re: GR Library Picks
Wed, July 26, 2006 - 3:37 PMI'm not sure if it should go in the library, but I remember studying "Men Are from MArs, Women are from Venus" in 12th grade psychology and just thinking that well, some of this stuff is pretty true, but still it's quite cliche. Male/female relationships are just a bit more complex than that. Is author John Gray overrrated, or am I overanalyzing? -

Re: GR Library Picks
Tue, August 29, 2006 - 10:21 AMI can't stand John Grey. I think his book is trite and over simplified.
I much prefer "The Road Less traveled" by Peck if you're looking for relationship psychology.
I like the child psychology books because if you can understand a child, you can see the roots of the adult. -

Re: GR Library Picks
Thu, August 31, 2006 - 11:23 AMThank goodness someone else agrees with me. I swear people refer to "Men Are from Mars, Women are from Venus" as the bible of gender/relationship studies. I never learned a whole lot from Grey that was all that compelling. The child psychology angle is much more useful. Most people who can't manage healthy relationships as adults usually have lifelong issues of insecurity, anger, trauma, etc, etc, etc. It's actually not too hard to figure out, but somehow most people can't see problems that are right in front of them.
