The Will to Change by bell hooks.

One of the best feminist explorations of masculinity, the patriarchy and all that entails being an antipatriarchal man in a patriarchal society.

Just bought Time Shelter by Georgi Gospodinov. Intend to read it this summer. I read about it in a review and was fascinated by the plot. Here’s the Wikipedia plot description:

The novel follows an unnamed narrator and Gaustine, a psychiatrist who creates a clinic for people with Alzheimer’s disease in Zürich. Each floor of the clinic recreates a decade in intricate detail, aiming to transport patients back in time to revisit their memories. Tasked with collecting past artifacts for the clinic, the narrator travels across countries.Soon, healthy people turn to the clinic to flee their monotonous lives and the idea becomes widespread when more clinics open. Referendums are held across Europe to decide which past decade each country should live in, in the future.

Just started Clara and the Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro. Not the first I read from this well deservedly honored author, and certainly not the last.

Unix V7 Manual. Life is pain.

The Left Hand of Darkness by Le Guin.

Just picked up the earthsea books (with pictures!) by Le Guin and am having a blast diving back in. I hadn’t read this in a long time, having a great time.

@Kamirose i am currently reading the left hand of darkness, Babylons ashes. And I am listening to the Andy Serkis version of the silmarillion.

I’m listening (if that counts?) to Lord of the rings (i’m on Return of the King - book 5). Been really enjoying it so far, there are many more significant differences to the movies than I was expecting.

At the moment it’s easier to get time in for audio books (during late night toddler wakes and car journeys etc)

“Radical Markets” by Weyl and Posner.

As an anti-authoritarian anti-capitalist I find many of their proposals to be objectionable. I lean towards open borders simply on freedom of association grounds, so I am opposed to their immigration proposals. Their common ownership self-assessed tax on the other hand is very interesting because it allows collectivization of some of the returns to capital while still managing capital in a decentralized fashion.
