I especially love to read about things that deal with pop-culture, fashion, aliens, vampires, Japan, really bad B-movies (horror mainly), unicorns, cats, being a girl, being a rockstar, being GBLTQ, feminism, video games, bishounen, bishoujo, being a teenager, science, the unexplained, and, well, you get the picture. XD
So, here's a list of things that I have been reading lately~! XD
Everybody Hurts: An Essential Guide to Emo Culture: I just read this book over Fall Break, and I totally LOVE it! XD If you've ever wandered what emo is all about, it's history, what it's followers are like, or are just a scenster like myself, you will be pleasantly surprised by this book! It has lots of quirky facts and info on emo culture as well as nifty illustrations to help drive home some of the finer points. Plus some of the comments on Amazon about he book are epic.
Japanese Schoolgirl Inferno: Tokyo Teen Fashion Subculture Handbook: If you ever wanted to know the difference between a Ko-gal and a Ganguro girl or what style influenced Decora and Lolita, you really need to check out this book. It's fully-illustrated and contains lots of photos! Styles are listed in chronological order, and a 'style map' really helps you figure out how the fashions relate to each other! XD
Debbie Harry Sings in French: A really cool book about a goth boy's journey into the world of New Wave and drag queens, but, yeah know, in more words. XD I really liked how this book dealt with it's subjects while still keeping it's teen audience in mind. If you like books about music, first crushes, wearing what you want to, and trying to deal with small town life, this book is for you.
Well, those are all that I can think of right now! XD Have fun~! X3
