Let us call on Marx to awaken from his long slumber. He will surely heed our cry, even as it arrives all the way from the Anthropocene.
I'm gonna be honest - this reads like a literary bat signal, calling for a superhero to come and save the day, and I don't know how to feel about that 😶

This is a collection of essays that is a love letter to books and reading. None of the information here is groundbreaking, but as a lover of books, this felt like a warm hug. I’m reminded that what I really value about books can only be found in reading deeply instead of quickly, aiming to feel and know rather than to count. Don’t go in expecting things you’ve never heard before as that’s not the type of book this is. To that point, the headings of each essay is more informative than the content, but the content is the soul behind the ideas. If you need to fall back in love with reading, this is the book for you.

Way beside the point but I, too, would like to have a (found family) uncle who is a drag queen and teaches me some essentials and takes me shopping 🥹

A guide dog for the blind goes blind and navigates that physically and mentally with the help of new friends along the way. This was so sweet!! 🥹❤️ I cried, laughed, and smiled while reading this. I love Bear, Patrick, and everyone else on the journey back home! 🙂↕️🫶

I remember reading this in school, but I’m glad I got to read it again! Now, I can definitely understand and feel for what those in Iran went through during that time and the effects it had on them. I’m happy that Satrapi was able to find herself and be happy with who she was/is. And I really loved/appreciated her parents and grandmother :) If she didn’t have them, I don’t think she would have been where she is today.
