Just finished reading this book. A recommended read if you've any interest in new ways of thinking about ourselves and each other against the backdrop of racism and "the false hierarchies of human value."

That's the L.A. Equestrian Center. Loved showing my horses there.

Not feeling well today, so it's a blanket, tea, and a book while Harper Lee does her best to provide comfort . . . between naps.

Sorry, has the reviewer seen what Bob Dylan looked like when he was young??

Unintended consequence if joining Bluesky: smart, funny people recommending fabulously interesting books I have not read, thus feeding my book addiction.

Non-fiction.

The true story of 2 men: Hawley Crippen, a " very unlikely murderer," & Gulielmo Marconi, inventor of the wireless, whose lives intersect in what would be come one of the "greatest criminal chases of all time."

Ending this with a flourish; I just couldn't pick one. These references got me through grad school and beyond. 😌

14 TBR books to finish by January 2025. 2nd one read: Home by Marilynne Robinson.
Not sure how I feel about this one. It's a reinterpretation of the "Prodigal Son" parable. I found some of her prose is remarkably moving. Other than that, meh.
Happy to donate this copy if anyone wants to read it.

Delves into the ethical questions surrounding the use of aerial warfare, questioning whether the pursuit of military victory can ever be fully divorced from civilian casualties.

I think I have a book-buying disorder. The stacks in this picture are my current TBR books, while "Boone" (the book in the foreground) I purchased this morning from my local book store.
What can I say: I was unsupervised.🤷‍♀️📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚

Starting with this one.

5 TBR books finished before mid-December. Seems anticlimactic. Anyway, IMHO Bukowski is always a good read. Nothing more to add. If you've read Bukowski, you know.😉

I'm with ya', my sister.

5 TBR books finished, 1 to go before mid-December.

"How much do we know about the food we eat?" @peter-singer.bsky.social, my favorite ethicist, and co-author Jim Mason consider how we might take an ethical approach to our food choices.
