I made a goal to read 10 books during my time resting. I hope to post thoughts here, less in a review style (not in small part since there are many more qualified and well-written reviews elsewhere). I’m excited to get to actually read all of them:

  1. The Right to Sex, by Amia Srinivasan x
  2. On the Politics of Language, by Beaver
  3. Simulacrum and Simulacra, by Jean Baudrillard
  4. β€œThe Annihilation of Caste,” by B. R. Ambedkar
  5. I Want To Die But I Want To Eat Tteokbokki, by Baek Sehee x
  6. Recovery: The Lost Art of Convalescence, by Gavin Francis x
  7. Fear: A Cultural History, by Joanna Bourke
  8. The History of White People, by Nell Irvin Painter
  9. How to Change Your Mind, by Michael Pollan
  10. I Who Have Never Known Men, by Jacqueline Harpman

Some other books that I’ve been reading along the way anyways:

  1. None of the Above, by Travis Alabanza x
  2. Small Things Like These, by Claire Keegan x
  3. Why We Sleep, by Matthew Walker x
  4. Four Thousand Weeks, by Oliver Burkeman
  5. Black Skin, White Masks, by Frantz Fanon

Other books on the docket:

  1. Killing Rage by bell hooks
  2. Something of RF Kuang’s writing
  3. Grit by Brenee Brown
