Minor Feelings: An Asian American Reckoning by Cathy Park Hong
4.0
read more for content than lyrical pleasure; profound and thorny
Afterparties by Anthony Veasna So
5.0
swings wildly like a pendulum between being serious and unserious. maybe life is both modes at the same time
Good Talk: A Memoir in Conversations by Mira Jacob
4.0
Riotous, heartwarming, light. Balances important themes with levity in a way other mediums could not. I still can’t believe people have said some of the things in this book out loud. Read alongside “Good Bones,” probably.
The Groom Will Keep His Name: And Other Vows I've Made about Race, Resistance, and Romance by Matt Ortile
3.5
not my style, but had great moments of analysis
How to Be Perfect: The Correct Answer to Every Moral Question by Michael Schur
5.0
one of those books I believe has primed me to be a person in the world, which is more praise than any critical evaluation of its presentation of ideas, though its ideas are very helpful and clarified many dilemmas I often face. very much a book that feels tailored to someone like me
Stoner by John Williams
4.0
atomization, metastasized. to maintain dignity in the face of his own will being too small to integrate himself or effect change, william stoner considers much of the outer world a mystery. see also: he is an academic. 8.2
What Does Israel Fear From Palestine? by Raja Shehadeh
4.0
harrowing! outlines a bigger picture of the war’s “stakes,” namely keeping together a group of people founded upon a lie. very informative and a great portal resource
A Coney Island of the Mind by Lawrence Ferlinghetti
4.0
multiplicity of the self. overcoming subjectivity to glimpse a larger truth about subjectivity. sold lots of copies. Americana crash course. lots of synergy beginning this book at an actual theme park, 8.1
