Finished earlier but we were skipping around chapters so didn't realize.

This is a great book for couples' enrichment, provided both parties are prepared to engage with honesty and openness

This was my third Doctorow fiction novel. He's rapidly rising to the top of my favourite authors. While weaving a compelling story line, he sheds light on the true nature of our late-capitalist society and the systems that exacerbate disparity

Michelle Good's collection of seven essays, each on a distinct theme in the broad topic of reconciliation, presents a good picture of the current status of the indigenous struggle for recognition and status, and convincing rationale for a change in attitude and approach by the colonial institutions and settler community. A worthwhile read.

This is a good book that could have been shorter. While useful to expose the closer relationship between governments and private companies, the stories often felt repetitive and the chapters lacked a clear flow. The point was made, and made again, and made again, but the successive iterations didn't really develop a deeper analysis or enhance understanding. Overall, while an interesting read, I found it to be underwhelming.

Reading this was a very worthwhile discipline for the year. While I didn't manage to read it every single day, each day I did I found the reflections to be thought provoking and encouraging. We've ordered a hard copy of the book to make available to my partners therapy clients while they await their appointments.
