Black Edge by Sheelah Kolhatkar
The story of the billionaire trader Steven A. Cohen, the rise and fall of his hedge fund, SAC Capital, and the largest insider trading investigation in history. As a side note, the series Billions on Showtime is loosely based on this story of Cohen! I also pre ordered the paperback of End Of Watch by Stephen King the final installment in the The Bill Hodges Trilogy! |

That book looks like an interesting read, homoe. Awhile back, I read the non-fiction book about the billionaire recluse who started DHL -- King Larry, Which also was an very interesting read. |

Why I Am Not a Feminist: A Feminist Manifesto Jessa Crispin
The review says :
Outspoken critic Jessa Crispin delivers a searing rejection of contemporary feminism . . . and a bracing manifesto for revolution. Are you a feminist? Do you believe women are human beings and that they deserve to be treated as such? That women deserve all the same rights and liberties bestowed upon men? If so, then you are a feminist . . . or so the feminists keep insisting. But somewhere along the way, the movement for female liberation sacrificed meaning for acceptance, and left us with a banal, polite, ineffectual pose that barely challenges the status quo. In this bracing, fiercely intelligent manifesto, Jessa Crispin demands more. Why I Am Not A Feminist is a radical, fearless call for revolution. It accuses the feminist movement of obliviousness, irrelevance, and cowardice--and demands nothing less than the total dismantling of a system of oppression. ----------------- Not sure I agree with the review. Doesnt seem to equate with my definition of radical but she does pose some very interesting and important questions for anyone who thinks "feminism" is a done deal as opposed to a continually evolving movement. She is very good at demonstrating how what can perceived as progress can easily turn into an unexpected and unwanted pitfall. It will challenge one's beliefs and why one believes them. It will anger some, enlighten others. Will definitely make anyone reading it, think harder and in ways that may not be comfortable.
