Aug 28th, 2020 • weekend reads . I haven’t been very active here but i’ve been reading and have 4 new reviews that will come eventually. . last night i started Summerwater and so far, so good. only 25 pages in true that i like what i am reading. i am also planning on reading Letter from Birmingham Jail and Bad Feminist. will probably pick another fiction novel but i am indecisive about it: torn between The Year of the Witching or Saving Ruby King. . what are you all reading? • • • #currentlyreading #readingupdate #letterfrombirminghamjail #badfeminist #nonfiction #summerwater #literaryfiction #martinlutherkingjr #roxanegay #sarahmoss #booksandmugs #bookpile #stackofbooks #unitedbookstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CEbc5cJA1Uo/?igshid=1tu3iief52f8p

Nancy: "I'm going to have dinner with Roxane at a small gathering for PEN America. She is a great writer and I'm a memoir junkie. I'm reading Bad Feminist and Hunger. Hunger is so honest. In an age where everybody has an agenda and something to promote, I appreciate her brutal honesty about trauma, keeping secrets and what it's like to take up space. Food was a fortress to protect herself from people who wanted to hurt her. We all feel vulnerable and exposed at times. Reading protects you and is a great protective force. It's a good thing to have a paperback in your pocket at all times." @strandbookstore #Hunger #RoxaneGay / @theubc for #subwaybookreview #newyork 🗽 (at 14 Street-Union Square Station)

“It's hard not to feel humorless, as a woman and a feminist, to recognize misogyny in so many forms, some great and some small, and know you're not imagining things. It's hard to be told to lighten up because if you lighten up any more, you're going to float the fuck away. The problem is not that one of these things is happening; it's that they are all happening, concurrently and constantly.” 

― Roxane Gay
