Malpertuis by Jean Ray, what an interesting take on a gothic horror novel. I will say this has made me very intrigued by gothic horror and I expect to read more within the genre soon.

Just finished my second read of the year and The Missing Sister was fairly good. I’ve had the book sitting on my Kindle for years and finally decided to read it. It’s not what I expected, but it was good for what it was. 4.25/5 ⭐️

Happy BLACK History Month. I read Black books every month but I got two stacks for y'all.
First stack is books by Black authors I loved and the second are the ones I’m getting to.

I’ve only managed to read one non-romance book this month, but 56 Days was such an amazing read! I guess we’re sorta far enough for me to read a book set during COVID-19 and not be traumatized. 4.5 ⭐️

I'm not teaching my grad course 'Civil Resistance: How It Works' this semester. But here is an abridged version of the course schedule, readings, and films I used the last time I taught it (in 2022). Just in case it's useful. drive.google.com/file/d/14RRJ...

something that’s immensely frustrating about the current moment, with the utter collapse of the mainstream press, is that we don’t have a great sense of how much of what Trump does is performative bluster and how much is actually doing a ton of damage

I feel like we need more historical fiction. I understand folks don’t want to read actual history books & it’s getting harder to find reliable resources on the Internet. I worry our history is getting lost in all the noise, & understanding (and not repeating) history is key to our evolution.
