So what and who is everyone reading [View all]

I admit, I've falling off the reading habit and haven't been keeping up with current Feminist thinkers and writers. I'll be first in line for any new release by Margaret Atwood or Marge Piercy...but who's gonna grab this old crones attention. I'm pretty persnickety and all the talk of waves and divisions just makes me a bit weepy. Last I read was some Naomi Wolf...

So spill ....who do you "follow", which blogs are your never misses and who will you fork over the bucks for at the book store?

Here's one of my favorites
