Fire and Fury, Michael Wolff. It's even better now that Bannon is back pedaling.

I read this a while back. I thought it was very good.

I'm still reading Stone Butch Blues (and crying), but I would like to some read of Ivan Coyote's works next.

Has anyone read them before?

I caved in and picked up a copy of Fire and Fury........

The Dark Lord’s Handbook, Paul Dale

The Odyssey again but for the first time in a long while. The Fagles translation. I tried reading the new Emily Wilson translation because it is supposed to be kind of feminist, but it was jarring. The language was too every day. I am kind of disappointed. I was predisposed to like it based on reviews. Plus I paid twenty bucks for it. Oh well. Maybe I'll try it again someday. I like Fagles though. Accessible but still poetic.

My latest read is from a book gifted to me, titled .....

The House Girl by Tara Conklin.

Synopsis from the back cover of the book about the story and the author:

"Lisa Sparrow is an ambitious young lawyer working on an historic class action suit seeking reparations for the decedent's of American slaves. Josephine is a seventeen year old house slave who tends to the mistress of a Virginia farm, an aspiring artist named Lu Anne Bell. Alternating between antebellum Virginia and modern-day New York. The House Girl is an searing tale of art, history, love, and secrets that intertwines the stories of two remarkable women," -- Marie Claire.

Tara Conklin has worked as an litigator in the New York and London offices of a corporate law firm but now devotes time to writing fiction. Conklin received a B.A. in History from Yale University, a JD from New York University School of Law, and an Master of Arts in Law and Diplomacy from the Fletcher School at Tufts University. Born in St Croix, Conklin grew up in Massachusetts and now lives with her family in Seattle, Washington. The House Girl is Conklin's first novel.

Getting ready to start Hunger by Roxane Gay.

ardentfemme · 01-23-2018, 11:24 PM

I just finished Rupi Kaur's poetry collection milk and honey.

Definitely do NOT recommend it. It was trite, contrived, and downright nonsensical at times. I hate to say that because I want to support contemporary women poets, but... this had no redeeming qualities.
