Inject this book into my VEINS. Read for my “Teaching Controversial Issues” class and this was far and away the most useful book
A beautiful introduction to mujerista theology. I wish I could give this book to all the people I love to explain how my theology has grown and changed, but then they might burn me at the stake
There's a lot in this book that I'm still unpacking, but just like All About Love, it has changed my life. Masculinity as taught by patriarchy affects everyone and shapes everyone for the worse, even soft-boy-good-guys
A quick fun read. I wish I had more opportunities to play with language; then again, maybe I wish I was clever enough to play with language.
Absolutely brutal you can't do half stars on this thing. I never grew up with the idea that Michael Jordan was a super nice guy who could do no wrong so “controversies” relayed in this book are in no way shocking. The dude was a competitor, not someone I'd want to play with, but a dude I'd love on my team
An absolute slog but I learned a lot about process theology and some neat conceptions of love that I'm sure will haunt my sermons
As a book it's nothing to write home about, but as a jumping off point for a new digital worldview it's very compelling. I can't wait til I can get rid of my iPhone
Pre-Star Wars sci-fi has a nobler feeling than more contemporary stuff even if it drags a little more. Nobody in this book is trying to be a version of Han Solo and that's a good thing. Le Guin rules
I want to recommend this book to anyone thinking about masculinity/feminity and gender roles, but I think that person would be disappointed. This is a book that has that conversation as an element, but I found it far more engaging as an exploration of friendship and intimacy. I've still yet to read anything by Le Guin that I haven't been stuck thinking about for days
This might be the first page-turner I've read in a long time, I legit had to pace myself to enjoy it longer. The romance is passionate and real, the mythmaking is exactly the kind of pulp I'm into. I'm embarrassed to say that this is the first book I've read that predominantly features an LGBT romance, but I'm happy to say it won't be the last
When it comes to rating sports books everything falls short of Halberstam's The Breaks of the Game but I can't deny that this is a good book. I grew up with some cousins in Miami who were huge Knicks fans and I never understood why but they were at the exact right age when the Heat/Knicks rivalry was going and their dad's a New Yorker so go figure. I also love the giant middle finger to Dolan. Pray for the Knicks
