From a quick scan of my blog, one might gather that I've not actually done much reading as of late. One might, then, be correct. It seems that the fight between social media, television, and the good old printed word is being fought fiercely in my life at present. When short of time, I notice myself having the tendency to opt for electronic forms of diversion when I do, in fact, have that infrequent spare moment to relax. However, self-criticism is one of the most valuable forms of criticism in my opinion, so you can bet that now that I've had the epiphany, I'm going to face this malady head-on and overcome the affliction.
Below, I've simply taken the lazy way out for now by only listing the titles I've recently read. Bonus points if you can see the theme...
Evicted: Poverty and Profit in the American City by Matthew Desmond
The Unwinding: An Inner History of the New America by George Packer
Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of a Family and Culture and Crisis by J.D. Vance
