I like stories about culture. It's why Clan of the Cave Bear is one of my favorite books. When I was in sixth grade I discovered the book Indian Captive: The Story of Mary Jemison by Lois Lenski. I read the book several times. I loved that book. As a result throughout my 7th grade year at school, I read what I...

Well that was a waste of two hours. This book is really boring and pointless. "Hey, let's spend a whole book forshadowing an awesome love story, and have it end in nothing. And then that'll just be it." It was pointless. There was no reason to even write it. Why didn't she just write on a napkin, "Hey, this...

Woman's Life in Colonial Days
First, this kind of book functions as two sorts of histories. A 1922 dude’s adorably condescending view of women (and some really nasty stuff about black humans being subhuman) plus actual research and fascinating quotes from the 17th and 18th centuries. It probably should make me despair, but it...
