That said, there are a few tools and resources you can use to make it easier on your eyes and hands. What’s more, there are lots of things you can do to work on reading as a skill.

It’s hard to say what Dad would think of the film if he could see it.

100 Sci-Fi Stories by Women Writers (Read 20 for Free Online) Since 2009, the organization VIDA: Women in the Literary Arts has sought to bring balance to the representation of female authors in the literary world. As revealed by the 2010 controversy begun by author Jodi Picoult over the gushing treatment Jonathan Franzen’s Freedom received in the New York Times, the disparity, and the bias, are real. Author Jennifer Weiner chimed in as well, writing: “when a man writes about family and feelings, it's literature with a capital L, but when a woman considers the same topics, it's romance, or a beach book.” This fracas—involving a number of mostly New York literati and the death of the term “chick lit”—didn’t split evenly down gender lines.
