Ok and I just put the screen shots of them up because I'm too lazy to type it out. Ha.

Anyway, I digress. The reason for this post was that I wanted to start a list of books I will be reading over Winter Break. I'm going to Spain (did I mention that) so I'm not sure how much reading I can do, but I figure I'll have a bit of downtime as my sister will be working and so I'll be sitting at the house doing nothing. But my mom will be there too.

oh diana, your reading lists are exciting! this is such a coincidence but i've recently put the same and similar texts on my dissertation reading lists, particularly the hoschild and other global sex tourism books.
but if you're going to be in spain (!) for the holidays, spend the time going to a library looking for filipino writings, or a museum looking for juan luna's paintings. did you know that quite a few filipino native intellectuals went to spain -- the (colonial) "motherland" at the time -- and became expatriate intellectuals there? i'd love to go to spain and look for signs of filipinos there (well, besides the spanish candy bar actually called "filipino").
If you like Lilith's Brood, or Octavia Butler, or vampire novels, you should read her last published novel, Fledgling. It's an excellent book and a new spin on the Vampire lore.
