Reading this week

I am reading Scaramouche (I hope I am spelling the name correctly) by Rafael Sabatini. The story is set during the initial phase of the French Revolution and shows through the eyes of the protagonist the shifting dichotomies between the noble and peasent classes. Some of the titles that are mentioned in this thread also seem to be rather interesting so I do hope to finish soon so I may enjoy some of the other works people are talking about!

Thanks!

Punchlines

As a transgender woman of color, I unfortunately see and hear too much of ignorant individuals who feel that their iota of gender and sexual science makes them experts of these disciplines. I am most certainly not a punchline, I am a veteran, an accountant, and hopefully soon a novelist. My family and I are muslims, and they support me in my transition.
