January was a weird month for me, I read Palo Alto by Malcolm Harris, which probably would be good if it was about 5 books, but was desperately in need of an editor as a single one. I continued my personal goal of reading Foucault, and managed his second volume on Sexuality, again not sure I can say it was enjoyable exactly. In terms of books I enjoyed, I loved Against White Feminism by Rafai Zakaria, also really enjoyed Forbidden Notebook by Alba de Cespedes. And I reread one of my best books of all time, All About Love by bell hooks; which apart from the last two chapters is probably the one book that has impacted me the most over the last few years, its funny to reread and realise how much you have grown and how different things grab you. I will read Jessica Au's Fitzcarraldo book, honestly I will read anything they publish.
sorry I missed your comment! definitely want to read 'against white feminism'. and 'all about love' is great, though I don't love it (I know I know). I love most of hooks' books but this one feels too heteronormative? I dunno there are parts that are brilliant. happy reading!!
