I’m in for Genius! Of COURSE her name is Destiny 🙂
I was kind of meh about The Arab of the Future, though not only because of the puppy incident. I just remember not feeling compelled to write any sort of review about it. I am not sure if I DID write a review…

Whoa, I’ve never heard of Genius!! It looks SO GOOD. Honor Girl also looked good (when I heard about it elsewhere), but GOD DAMN Genius looks good. Excuse me while I see if the library has it.

I SO want to read Genius but my library doesn’t have it. I might have to buy it … further thought on that is required. I’m with you on the power dynamic thing – I don’t HATE reading about it, but it makes me very uncomfortable. It has to be done a certain way for me to actually enjoy a book that portrays that kind of relationship. And a puppy getting spiked with a pitchfork? Nope, I’m out. Super out.

I was telling my husband the other day that students sleeping with teachers does happen. He was shocked to learn that I knew one such student who slept with a teacher. Honestly, I am disgusted with it. But Honor Girl is on my list but now I don’t know if I want to read it. We’ll see.

I had not heard of Genius. But now I have so it’s on my list too.

I haven’t read any of these but Genius and The Gigantic Beard sound really great.

I read about The Arab of the Future in the New Yorker and put it on my list-of-books-to-maybe-check out, but also helpfully wrote myself a note saying “but maybe not” with a quote from the New Yorker piece saying “the first volume […] concludes with the lynching of a puppy.” Um. How enjoyable was it, up to that point?

Aw, I really liked The Gigantic Beard book. I mean, yes, it’s not an original message, but it’s still a message I enjoy, and it wasn’t as if everything was great about the beard taking over. But mostly, I was captivated by the art and the way he put the panels together. It just made me happy to look at it.
