Killing the Black Body: Race, Reproduction, and the Meaning of Liberty by Dorothy Roberts
Killing the Black Body: Race, Reproduction, and the Meaning of Liberty

pandora, August 30, 2012

If you care about women, health disparities, human rights or maternity care, this book is essential reading. Roberts goes into depth about the history of eugenics, birth control and the experience of black women in this country. Lucid and well written, Roberts raises important questions about our society, health and race. Her extensive footnotes are a treasure trove for anyone who wants to learn more about any of these areas.

Then Came You by Jennifer Weiner
Then Came You

pandora, August 27, 2012

This novel explores reproductive technology from the perspective of an egg donor, a surrogate, an older trophy wife and her step-daugter. I laughed, I cried and I enjoyed chick lit that engaged interesting questions with humanity and empathy (though limited realism).

The Blue Place by Nicola Griffith
The Blue Place

I want to be Aud Torvigen when I grow up! A former police lieutenant, Torvigen moves between the sophistication of her upbrining and the violence of her impulses. This fast-paced mystery satisfies my inner action-movie fan while also providing a compelling heroine and glimpses into Scandinavian culture.

A Right to Be Hostile: The First Big Book of the Boondocks by Aaron McGruder
A Right to Be Hostile: The First Big Book of the Boondocks

pandora, August 3, 2012

The Boondocks follows 10 yr old Huey Freeman, a disgruntled black miliant as me moves through his new homogenous 'burb. Insightful and sanity-preserving hilarity!

The Gun Seller by Hugh Laurie
The Gun Seller

pandora, August 3, 2012

The man who plays Dr. House is not only an actor and a musician, he's also a pretty good writer! This pulpy thriller keeps you on your feet and engaged up until the end. An ideal beach read!
