The Jungle

Upton Sinclair
Christopher Caldwell-KellyChristopher Caldwell-Kelly

@ParSpec But you can't teach 12 year olds to close read Upton Sinclair's The Jungle, for example, without leading them to question other assumptions. And I found the Jungle sort of harmful! Only Black kid in the class, and it's pretty racist.

@vrovoom I'm 85% sure she was named after Zelda Fitzgerald, which suggests that if the Great Gatsby hadn't kept F. Scott Fitzgerald relevant long after his heyday, she might have been after Anita Loos or Clare Luce Booth

Freaky Friday

Mary Rodgers

Am I imagining this, or did Mary Rodgers write a sequel to Freaky Friday where Ape Face switches places with his dad and falls in love with his school teacher?

Coldheart Canyon

Clive Barker

@FiveFiveFiver It reminded me of the Clive Barker novel Coldheart Canyon, where depraved Hollywood weirdos built a Hieronymous Bosch-esque room covered in demon-infested tiles.

Superfudge

Judy Blume
Christopher Caldwell-KellyChristopher Caldwell-Kelly

@benjanun_s I have no idea why any non-American adult would read Judy Blume, and that includes her weird, smutty adult novels. Superfudge and Are You There God, It's Me, Margaret were old-fashioned when I was of the age to read them, and I'm old.

Three

Stephen Michael King
Christopher Caldwell-KellyChristopher Caldwell-Kelly

I just saw a thread with "name a book that you don't hear people talk about often," and it starts with a Stephen King novel that was adapted into a TV series that ran three seasons, and continues with a Michael Crichton book that was made into a reasonably successful film.
