Just two non-fiction from me this week. They arrived this afternoon...
ReplyDeleteThe Discovery of Slowness by Sten Nadolny
The Wrath to Come - Gone With the Wind and the Lies America Tells by Sarah Churchwell
I wish my library had the Churchwell book. I fucking hate Gone with the Wind, it is absolute trash and I wish everyone else saw it that way.
DeleteI'll see about reading it early next year, so you can decide if you want the blood pressure spike I can imagine you having reading it. I might do a 'deep dive' that incorporates it.
DeleteI think you'll be safe this Saturday. The only thing I'm getting delivered is bottled fizzy water and the only books I picked up after my dental check-up were two novels.....
A deep dive into all of the interconnected topics would be fantastic! I am especially curious about what she will have to say about the BLM protests after George Floyd was murdered on a street in broad daylight. I was at multiple protests and have never felt safer in a crowd in my whole life - but certainly not because of the police in riot gear. We shut down the busiest intersection in the entire state for days and I would do it all again in a heartbeat. I've requested that my library purchase it, so fingers crossed.
