I enjoy a wide range of books, from non-fiction with a progressive slant, to science fiction, to poetry, to experimental stuff. I read in Spanish sometimes. Recent highlights, to give a flavour: The Half-built Garden - Ruthanna Emrys The Lovesongs of W.E. Du Bois - Honore Fannone Jeffers The Value of Everything - Marian Mazzucatto A Prayer for the Crown Shy - Becky Chambers Post-colonial Love Poems - Natalie Diaz
