  • The Will to Change: Men, Masculinity, and Love
    Thoughts from 23%

    Some (short) quotes that I’ve liked this far;

    Men cannot love if they are not taught the art of loving. . Fear keeps us from being. Lose the men in our lives… . We cannot change men but we can encourage, implore, and affirm their will to change. . The crisis facing men is not the crisis of masculinity, it is the crisis of patriarchal masculinity.

    This is my first time reading bell hooks but I’m enjoying it so far. It’s remarkable how timely a lot of it still feels, despite having been published over 20 years ago.

  • Authors you avoid ?

    Are there any authors you avoid ? If you avoid a certain author , why do you? Is there a specific reason to avoid them? Are they anti lgbtq, anti women , etc ?

  • Nonfiction Spoilers

    My hot take: I think most nonfiction books don’t need spoilers. I recently read (and loved) the serviceberry. The forum was less compelling to me. I get spoilers in fiction — you’re spoiling the plot. But I’m a little lost on what counts as a spoiler in most nonfiction.

    I’m not asking folks to change their spoiler behavior, but I’m curious: What constitutes a spoiler for you in nonfiction?
