Diving into round two

Timber plantations and class politics?

No more.

Now?

Slowing the population explosion, renewable energy sources and queery theory.

I spent almost an hour in the sexuality isle of the library today and left with a large pile of books that made look suspiciously like I was having a sexual identity crisis.

"Cultural politics- queer reading" (the cover is on a trip, but the insides are pretty textbook)

"She's my wife, he's just sex" (a raunchy, blunt book with raw accounts of men who live double lives)

"Virtually normal" ("an argument" over homosexuality which is so far VERY interesting)

"The other face of love" (a medium sized purple book that is missing it's dust cover and that seems a liiiiitle mushy gushy)

"Queer theory/sociology" (textbook definitions one what it means to be gay)

"Homosexuality" (straight up.  it was actually published in 1955 so THAT should be interesting)

"What happened to gay life?" (which has a man on the cover who is sneaking along with his back to the wall like he's on some espionage mission to FIND the gay life"

and

"Yes means yes" (which is actually about heterosexuality but I needed something for comparison.  Sort of like a control group.)

We shall see if any of them work for my paper about the gender politics encoded in children's literature eh?
