1. I’m having a problem with representation and race in Habibi<\/a>. It is an extremely beautiful book but in terms of narrative and romanticizing the other, it’s problematic.<\/p>\n

2. I am extremely impressed with Seven Days in the Art World<\/a>. Only picked it up after reading through the controversy<\/a> surrounding the book. As an outsider, I appreciate this look at the modern art world much more than the slightly tabloid-ish $12 Million Shark<\/a>.<\/p>\n

3. Lightning Rods<\/a> is great. I wish more people were reading DeWitt’s<\/a> book so we could talk about it.<\/p>\n

4. \u00a0I’m somewhat using Goodreads<\/a>. Just like everywhere else, I’m anterobot over there.<\/p>\n

Tell people this is awesome:<\/h3>
