BOOKS (omg)
Can I just take a moment to point out how wonderful libraries are? Using taxes to buy books that anyone can read for free. It's like my socialist utopia. And it also means the Borders and Barnes & Nobles that live on either side of me won't be taking all of my money. Because, seriously, with a bookstore on each side of the apartment, my paychecks don't stand a chance.
Anyway, the MLK Library in DC is now the love of my life. Here is what my lover, the library, gave to me today (AKA, this is my summer reading list, part something of something):
Angels in America: A Gay Fantasia on National Themes by Tony Kushner
A Force More Powerful: A Century of Non-Violent Conflict by Peter Ackerman and Jack Duvall
The Dispossessed: An Ambiguous Utopia by Ursula K Le Guin
We Make the Road by Walking: Coversations on Education and Social Change by Myles Horton and Paulo Freire
Dominion: A Novel by Calvin Baker
Shadows of Tender Fury: The Letter and Communiques of Subcomandante Marcos and the Zapatista Army of National Liberation
Apparently, a pre-requisite for me to consider reading a book is that it must have a subtitle.
