there's a book called The Fourth Procedure that you really should find and read. It's a thriller involving the Supreme Court and abortion and it's WILD. I don't want to say more. It's so wild that you have to read it—spoiling it would be mean.      fuente
Los hombres que no amaban a las mujeres book cover
Los hombres que no amaban a las mujeres
Stieg Larsson - 2008-09-23 (publicado por primera vez en 2005)
Calificación de Goodreads
Harriet Vanger desapareció hace treinta y seis años en una isla sueca propiedad de su poderosa familia. A pesar del despliegue policial, no se encontró ni rastro de la muchacha. ¿Se escapó? ¿Fue secuestrada? ¿Asesinada? El caso está cerrado y los detalles olvidados. Pero su tío Henrik Vanger, un empresario retirado, vive obsesionado con resolver el misterio antes de morir. En las paredes de su estudio cuelgan cuarenta y tres flores secas y enmarcadas. Las primeras siete fueron regalos de su sobrina; las otras llegaron puntualmente para su cumpleaños, de forma anónima, desde que Harriet desapareció. Mikael Blomkvist acepta el extraño encargo de Vanger de retomar la búsqueda de su sobrina. Periodista de investigación y alma de la revista Millennium, dedicada a sacar a la luz los trapos sucios de la política y las finanzas, Blomkvist está vigilado y encausado por una querella por difamación y calumnia presentada por un gran grupo industrial que amenaza con arruinar su carrera y su reputación. Contará con la colaboración inesperada de Lisbeth Salander, una peculiar investigadora privada, socialmente inadaptada, tatuada y llena de piercings, y con extraordinarias e insólitas cualidades. Así empieza esta magnífica novela que es la crónica de los conflictos de una familia, un fascinante fresco del crimen y del castigo, de perversiones sexuales y trampas financieras; un entramado violento y amenazante en el que, no obstante, crecerá una tierna y frágil historia de amor entre dos personajes absolutamente inolvidables.

My mom gave me her copy of the complete works of William Shakespeare about ten years ago. Published in 1936. It’s my most precious book. Even #SpanielDayLewis is into it.      fuente

Vamos a hablar de racismo
Una guía para entendernos
Ijeoma Oluo - 2018-01-16
Calificación de Goodreads
In this breakout book, Ijeoma Oluo explores the complex reality of today's racial landscape--from white privilege and police brutality to systemic discrimination and the Black Lives Matter movement--offering straightforward clarity that readers need to contribute to the dismantling of the racial divide In So You Want to Talk About Race, Editor at Large of The Establishment Ijeoma Oluo offers a contemporary, accessible take on the racial landscape in America, addressing head-on such issues as privilege, police brutality, intersectionality, micro-aggressions, the Black Lives Matter movement, and the "N" word. Perfectly positioned to bridge the gap between people of color and white Americans struggling with race complexities, Oluo answers the questions readers don't dare ask, and explains the concepts that continue to elude everyday Americans. Oluo is an exceptional writer with a rare ability to be straightforward, funny, and effective in her coverage of sensitive, hyper-charged issues in America. Her messages are passionate but finely tuned, and crystalize ideas that would otherwise be vague by empowering them with aha-moment clarity. Her writing brings to mind voices like Ta-Nehisi Coates and Roxane Gay, and Jessica Valenti in Full Frontal Feminism, and a young Gloria Naylor, particularly in Naylor's seminal essay "The Meaning of a Word."

I’m not really kidding. Ijeoma’s book is great for white people—because seriously, get a clue—but it’s also great for Black people who are sick and tired of trying to talk about race with clueless white people and end up frustrated and wanting to stab everything in sight.      fuente

Calificación de Goodreads
La doctora Jen Gunter nos invita a emprender un viaje tan ameno como riguroso por las realidades de la vagina. En esta época de «ciberanzuelos», pseudociencia y productos promocionados por celebridades, no es de extrañar que nos sintamos abrumadas ante la avalancha de consejos y afirmaciones procedentes de internet, amigas con buenas intenciones, parejas desinformadas e incluso profesionales de la salud. ¿Cómo distinguir la realidad de la ficción? Jen Gunter, ginecobstetra y experta en salud acude al rescate con un libro que desmiente mitos a la vez que informa y empodera a las mujeres.
