Finally getting around to reading this. The only thing I hate more than books with movie covers are price stickers that won't come off. At least I'm only dealing with one of those here!

"I want characters to do the things I am afraid to do for fear of making myself more unlikable than I may already be."

I've read more in the past month than i have in the past year thanks to amazing female writers like Jessica Valenti and Lindy West.

Fuck. Yes. I've had this book for a little over 48 hours and I've read it twice now. It's an excellent resource for fat women (or any women) who aren't sure how to love their body.

TWINSIES! Can't wait to get home and start reading.

Having less things is a great idea, this book seems like it's "rich people problems." If I got rid of everything that didn't bring me joy, I'd be sitting naked in an empty house.

All I know for certain is that this is how I want to live my life -- collaborating to the best of my ability with forces of inspiration that I can neither see, nor prove, nor command, nor understand. It's a strange line of work, admittedly. I cannot think of a better way to pass my days.

Having watched the documentary about the "school" Julia and her brother were sent to, I had to read this book. I wasn't disappointed. Highly recommended.
