Familiar Diversions
I'm a librarian who loves anime, manga, and reading a wide variety of genres.
Currently reading
Reading progress update: I've read 4 out of 186 pages.
This one has a few card possibilities, and I've read enough of James White's books that I figured this would be at least an okay read. But so far I've only read his Sector General books, which only include one named definitely-female recurring character, and even in those books it was clear that White has issues with writing women.
This is my first non-Sector General book by him, and four pages in there have been two women. One's a mother who is shapely and pretty (the main character is entranced), and one's wearing an outfit with a description that confuses me but that definitely boils down to "she's wearing practically nothing."
I'm not sure I'm in the mood to tackle this right now, so I might switch to something else. And I need to remember to read the first few pages of whatever replacement options I look at, even if they're by authors I've read before...
