Meat Market: Female Flesh Under Capitalism by Laurie Penny
4.0
Penny connects feminism to capitalism is a tangible way. The struggles against "necessary" austerity measures, sexist advertising, and the internalization of the class-entrenched anxieties of capitalism are made frighteningly clear in this new classing of the burgeoning 4th Wave.
Just Like Someone Without Mental Illness Only More So by Mark Vonnegut
4.0
A lovely book about life within the storm of mental illness that seemingly isn't about the processes of illness themselves. There's a stillness, a delicacy of language, that makes this memoir hauntingly intimate and delicious to read.
Õnne sünnipäevaks, Wanda June by Kurt Vonnegut
3.0
Though humorous, one cannot help but think that Vonnegut's zany humor is better suited for the page rather than the Broadway stage.
I am Scrooge: A Zombie Story for Christmas by Adam Roberts
3.0
Imagine if Dickens wrote about zombie gore in addition to Victorian life. This is what that would be like.
Uncle Vanya by Anton Chekhov
3.0
True to Tolstoy's word, all unhappy families are unhappy in their own unique ways.
Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk by David Sedaris
2.0
As much as I love animals and blue humor and David Sedaris, this one didn't work for me.
Girls to the Front: The True Story of the Riot Grrrl Revolution by Sara Marcus
5.0
Marcus exhaustively researches the Riot Grrrl movement and inspired my own sojourn into the 4th wave of feminism. :-)
Stink: The Incredible Shrinking Kid by Megan McDonald, Peter H. Reynolds
3.0
