Re: How progressive is your reading list?

[(Anonymous)]

I'm re-reading Lord of the Rings. That's all I'm reading right now because I don't have time to read anything else or look for anything new.

I think its central issue -- the treatment of heroism and human psychology and the limits of goodness and people's mental/emotional willpower under great stress and trauma -- is STILL incredibly goddamn progressive and rare to see at all in any kind of heroic/adventure story, let alone see it treated with so compassion and acceptance.

The other supporting aspects of the story is quite conservative in terms of representation, and racist/sexist and dated in parts, and it's by a straight white male author who isn't very interested in writing about things that don't apply to straight white males.

Most of my other favorite authors are women though, but I haven't picked up any new authors in a long time :( I should remedy that once I have more free time.
