Sophie Lewis, Christina Sharpe, Clair Wills, Brian Dillon, Lola Olufemi, Elizabeth Hardwick, Francesca Wade, Annie Ernaux, Carmen Maria Machado, Darryl Pinckney, Leslie Jamison, Françoise Vergés………reading good stuff that even isn’t related to what i do just inspires me to be a better writer and a more careful conscientious thinker. recently finished Jason Okundaye’s Revolutionary Acts which is a superb, beautifully written oral history.

ok I love nonfiction (love to learn) some of my favorites are: - anything by mary roach — she writes books on different niche science fields & her books are so informative in an approachable way that doesn't feel condescending and her books are just so fun! and interesting! I don’t think I can pick a favorite - marilyn johnson — she writes books about different careers, my favorite of hers is dead beat (about obituary writers) but I also love this book is overdue! (about librarians) - mediocre by ijeoma oluo — looks at the historical patterns of white men grasping onto their power in american culture ,, truly incredible read - white trash by nancy isenberg — this one is DENSE but it looks at the history of white poor people and pulls back the curtain of classism in america and how it ties into racism, sexism, etc etc,, if you wanted more reasons to hate any historical american heroes this one is for you ! - odd girls and twilight lovers by lillian faderman — lillian faderman is an incredible lesbian historian and this book is such a beautiful humanizing ode to lesbian history in the US with a lot of interviews of older queer women and it holds suuuch an important place in my heart
