For someone like me, who would never even think of being a Sorority girl, it was a very interesting read! I&#39;ve passed it on to a couple of my friends who are in sororities, and they really enjoyed it as well.<BR>]]></description><category>My Favorite Non-Fiction Books</category><author>Megan</author><pubDate>Fri, 02 Mar 2007 11:28:46 -0800</pubDate><guid isPermalink="false">trailfire:markId:64833</guid></item><item><title>Brothel: Mustang Ranch and Its Women</title><link>http://www.trailfire.com/Megan/marks/64837</link><description><![CDATA[I got to read &quot;Brothel&quot; in my Sociology of Deviance class, and the author even came to visit. It was so fascinating! We always have ideas of what prostitutes are like, but actually getting to read about a year in a legal brothel will change your opinion on some things. There is some sexually explicit stuff in this book, so I wouldn&#39;t recommend it to young readers.<BR>]]></description><category>My Favorite Non-Fiction Books</category><author>Megan</author><pubDate>Fri, 02 Mar 2007 11:30:45 -0800</pubDate><guid isPermalink="false">trailfire:markId:64837</guid></item><item><title>Survival of the Prettiest: The Science of Beauty</title><link>http://www.trailfire.com/Megan/marks/64842</link><description><![CDATA[This book is fascinating! I&#39;ve always been intrigued by attraction and beauty, and how society&#39;s views differ from the individual. This book has so much information and interesting facts, that I wanted to go through and highlight everything when I read it!<BR>]]></description><category>My Favorite Non-Fiction Books</category><author>Megan</author><pubDate>Fri, 02 Mar 2007 11:33:12 -0800</pubDate><guid isPermalink="false">trailfire:markId:64842</guid></item><item><title>The Beauty Myth: How Images of Beauty Are Used Against Women</title><link>http://www.trailfire.com/Megan/marks/64844</link><description><![CDATA[This is another book on beauty, specifically on how society uses it&#39;s ideal of beauty against woman who don&#39;t fit it at all. It&#39;s a dense read, but worth it.<BR>]]></description><category>My Favorite Non-Fiction Books</category><author>Megan</author><pubDate>Fri, 02 Mar 2007 11:35:26 -0800</pubDate><guid isPermalink="false">trailfire:markId:64844</guid></item><item><title>Nation of Rebels: Why Counterculture Became Consumer Culture</title><link>http://www.trailfire.com/Megan/marks/64850</link><description><![CDATA[I&#39;ll admit it... in High School, I was a bit of a punk, and I think that&#39;s why this book was so interesting to me. One of my friends introduced me to this book, Nation of Rebels, and it&#39;s really cool! It talks about how being a &quot;rebel&quot; became &quot;cool&quot;, which means it&#39;s not really rebelling anymore. Plus, people are selling things specifically for rebels, which is taking away from the whole rebellion culture even further.<BR>]]></description><category>My Favorite Non-Fiction Books</category><author>Megan</author><pubDate>Fri, 02 Mar 2007 11:38:45 -0800</pubDate><guid isPermalink="false">trailfire:markId:64850</guid></item><item><title>Only Joking: What&amp;#039;s So Funny About Making People Laugh?</title><link>http://www.trailfire.com/Megan/marks/64855</link><description><![CDATA[Humor is an interesting thing. What makes people laugh? Will the things I find funny be funny to you? This book looks at laughter and humor in a scientific approach, but sprinkles jokes through it as well. It&#39;s written by the guy who used to host Comedy Central&#39;s &quot;Distraction&quot;, and it&#39;s pretty good!<BR>]]></description><category>My Favorite Non-Fiction Books</category><author>Megan</author><pubDate>Fri, 02 Mar 2007 11:40:41 -0800</pubDate><guid isPermalink="false">trailfire:markId:64855</guid></item></channel></rss>
