Words Are My Matter by Ursula K. Le Guin
This is a collection of essays, plus a lot of book reviews and forewords to books. Well worth reading! But I mean, Le Guin could write pretty much anything and I'd read it.

Known Associates by thingswithwings
Yeah, I'm treating this as a book (and it would be a brick of a book, too, if it was printed!) Anyway, I loved this, I think it is my headcanon for Captain America now. If you haven't read it yet and have the least familiarity with the fandom, you should read it too. It has Steve Rogers singing the Internationale! What more do you need? And it also has really great queer history stuff.

Oof, I'm tired, I need to sleeeeeep.

Thanks for the Steve Rogers rec! Looking forward to it.

Normally, I devour fics such as Known Associates. Although I don't doubt it's good, a lot of ppl hyped it SO MUCH that it resulted in me being totes disinterested. :-/

Maybe I'll get around it some day. #Whoknows

Oh hey, I'm glad the rec found someone who hadn't heard of it!

[luzula]

Yeah, I get how that can happen. I wasn't exposed to much of the hype, I just immediately saw when it came out that I'd want to read it eventually, and just put it in the queue. Anyway, it'll keep! Maybe you'll forget the hype in a while.

Doubtful I forget BUT perhaps I will be in a more forgiving mood regards it two years from now. *Shrugs*

In any case, it's not like there's a dearth of epic-length fics that deconstruct Steve Rogers in a way I find emotionally satisfying (not especifically his queerness, but whateves.) ;)

Those are definitely both on my TBR list. ^_^
