Well, this is awkward.

Last week, I was obscenely busy. And I’ve spent most of this week so far hopped up on various pain meds – whichever pills I can shove into my mouth, really, since I’m not all that picky – and see no reason for any of this changing before Friday. (Girl talk: cramps. Bad ones. As [...]

Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass by Frederick Douglass My rating: 4 of 5 stars This isn’t exactly a fun read. It’s not something that will lift your spirits and put you in a fabulous, animated mood. Instead, it’s heavy, it’s grave, it’s heart-wrenching, it’s fascinating, and it’s compelling to the end. The writing [...]

Bravo for the Marshallese: Regaining Control in a Post-Nuclear, Post-Colonial World by Holly M. Barker My rating: 3 of 5 stars This was certainly a compelling read, and quite difficult to get through at times. It is written by a young Peace Corp volunteer that lived in the Marshall Islands with her host family and [...]
