i just finished "We Will Be Jaguars", a memoir by Nemonte Nenquimo about life in an Ecuadorian Amazon tribe and their experiences with missionaries, oil companies, and the legal battle to save some of their ancestral lands. i found it captivating but slow going in parts - i'd be really curious if anyone else has thoughts about.

still working on "The Vegan Studies Project". i'm in the final chapter. to be honest, i don't like it. it's a slog. it's taken me forever to get through, and i haven't found it terribly interesting. oh well!

i've got sooo many books checked out from my local library! i think next up is either going to be "Becoming Little Shell" by Chris La Tray or "Twenty-Four Seconds from Now..." by Jason Reynolds.

what's on your to be read pile?

I just finished reading the Souls of Black Folk by WEB Dubois and want to write something more about it in my other thread. I am going to start Use of Weapons by Iaian M Banks because I really liked Player of Games. I read a few other of the culture series and I'm excited to read something a little lighter than Fanon and Dubois

update: finally finished the vegan studies project. meh. is there any theory out there that y'all really recommend? i'm thinking particularly vegan theory or critical theory. just curious. thanks!
