Lysistrata by Aristophanes
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This translation is incredibly explicit--fair warning if you want to teach it.

The students were quite good about the whole thing. Most of them thought the play was funny, there was participation in class discussion, and I even overheard a few of them saying they might want to write their papers about the play. No one spontaneously combusted or threatened to get me fired, so success!

Draft No. 4: On the Writing Process by John McPhee
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I enjoyed this for McPhee's stories about writing for the New Yorker and for the background on how he wrote his nonfiction books.

Seaweed, a Cornish Idyll by Edith Ellis
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is such a strange and wonderful book.
I didn't realize any Victorian novels blatantly discussed polyamory, but here we go.
Additional themes include the intersection of masculinity, desire, sex, and sexuality; traditional views of women vs seeing them as erotic beings; and marriage.
I really enjoyed this one.
