What are you reading Wednesday?

What have you finished reading?

Sister Outsider: Essays and Speeches by Audre Lorde (Author) - I feel like I could have benefitted more reading this a few years back, but its a good piece of intersectionality. I'll be interested to hear what Z thinks, he is reading it next.


What are you currently reading?

Beloved by Toni Morrison (Author) - I decided to carry on with Black History Month (even though every month aught to be) and read this one. Apparently, some folks read this in school? Z did. It opens with a sex scene!? This would have never ever flown in my school district. Either way, its not a "good" read, its sad. Its about a woman who escaped slavery and is trying to find her way while also being haunted by ghosts, which is a p on the nose way of representing PTSD.

I feel like I was maybe too young when I read it to get much out of it.

Yeah, i cant imagine teens getting as much out of this book as an adult would. No clue why anyone thinks this is appropriate even for 16/17 year olds? no offense to them ofc. a teen could read and even understand to an extent, but idk, now that ive had more trauma, i can relate to being haunted by ghosts i guess.
