How is it going? I like to read books that will help me create less suffering in this world. That can be biographies to find inspiration, fiction to get away from reality for a bit, educational so I can teach others about hard topics. If I follow or engage with you it's because I like what you read or review.
¿Cómo va? Me gusta leer libros que me ayuden a crear menos sufrimiento en este mundo. Esas pueden ser biografías para encontrar inspiración, ficción para alejarse de la realidad por un tiempo, educativas para que pueda enseñar a otros sobre temas difíciles. Si te sigo o me comprometo contigo es porque me gusta lo que lees o revisas.

I've read this before. But I wanted to read it again because I've been needing a book to lift my spirits. I even recommended it to a friend.

Started this book as well. It's always recommended to me and I found it looking through someone else's library at a book sale. Might as well read it.
A powerful antidote to deadline dread, time guilt, and chronic rushing—from the New York Times …
Me and a couple of my coworkers started reading this. Normally, I do not read self help books but I'm going to see how this one works out reading it with a group. I've been reading it the past two weeks and so far it's not that bad. Putting the things the book is teaching into practice has been pretty healing.
In this classic study, Reich provides insight into the phenomenon of fascism, which continues to …
I read this book a couple of years ago but I am eager to tackle it again as it's a book with a lot of information explaining the rise of Fascism in Germany in the early to mid 20th century. Hopefully I can take what I learn and teach others of the dangers that lurk with this reactionary movement.
A landmark history of one hundred years of war waged against the Palestinians from the …
There's a lot to say about this book but it's written in such a beautiful way that teaches me the history of Palestine. I am more equipped to discuss and teach others about the wars the Western Powers have committed against Palestine.

Reading this book one more time. It's one of my favorites and I need a somewhat more comforting read right now in this time in my life...
'It was an odd disease. Its symptoms were like infatuation–palpitations, sleeplessness. Its only certain cure, …
This was my first Clive Barker book I’ve read so I was so excited to finally read one of his books. His writing is so erotic to me and I was fascinated to see where this book took me because of that. I was invited to a world of hell and I envisioned it throughout the book. There’s layers of character development that I appreciated in this horror book. I would recommend this book to anyone in the LGBTQ+ community who loves horror movies.

Stoked to read my first Clive Barker book. I've always wanted to read his books but have never had the chance to (so I say)
Disability justice and prison abolition are two increasingly popular theories that overlap but whose intersection …
I give this book 5 stars because of how informational it was. The author makes it very clear at the start how nuanced all of the information is. I went into the book with an open heart and mind. Having an able-body I’m very ignorant about the lives of people with disabilities. I haven’t gone to prison myself so I have no experience nor knowledge on how the prison system works. Going into it ignorantly this way, I found myself understanding what the author was saying. The Virgo in me appreciates the organization the books offers. They are split into chapters each going into different examples supporting the claims of various subjects that mean a lot to me. Most importantly, it connected two major concepts for me. Fighting for disability rights come hand to hand with fighting for a future with no prisons, or surveillance. Concepts I will now be …
I give this book 5 stars because of how informational it was. The author makes it very clear at the start how nuanced all of the information is. I went into the book with an open heart and mind.

Fighting for disability rights come hand to hand with fighting for a future with no prisons, or surveillance. Concepts I will now be able to articulate and explain to others. I am very thankful for this book and also thankful for the author who clearly put so much effort into this easy to read guide on how to combat and be a better ally. There’s also a ton of bibliography at the end of every chapter and a glossary at the end of the book that has meaningful definitions of words.

I've been getting 3 books sent to me every months and this month I received this book and it caught my attention so I decided to prioritize this reading.
"Men cannot change if there are no blueprints for change. Men cannot love if they …
For most of my life, I learned and was taught about feminism. The only masculinity I ever knew about was toxic masculinity. It was refreshing to read a book about masculinity. This book is a journey that emphasizes the need to love masculinity and men. The book is fairly simple to read and understand. In fact, I had a lot of people ask me what book I’m reading and as I talked about why I’m reading it, other males were intrigued. This was my first bell hooks book that I have ever read and I’m happy it was my first. The content I read is going to help me further reach full freedom. I would recommend it to any male but also any females who are trapped under patriarchy. There’s no bibliography.
Saturn’s darker persona is recognized universally in myth and fairytale. In this classic astrology text, …
I didn't read the last part of it because I wasn't very interested. I don't think it was necessary for me to read it based on the structure of the book. I was primarily interested in the energies Saturns gives off based on signs/houses and not the transits.
