Media Consumption

A bit of media consumption this last few weeks, and also a goal: There is a list of books with different types of representation in protagonist characters, not just side characters (below); I'm going to work on reading through this and reviewing them a bit.

Books:

Favorite this sennight is "A Psalm for the Wild-Built".

This was a short, good book. I'm not usually a fan of books where chapters are essentially using the characters as hand puppets to have Existential Conversations about things, but it was integrated well enough/broken up with segments and symbiology of rich and evocative text that I overall enjoyed this. Protag is a genderless monk in a utopia society who undergoes a type of first contact with robots. https://us.macmillan.com/series/monkrobot

Scythe - Neal Shusterman - premise: what if we conquered all causes of death with technology but people still needed to die? YA dystopic.

The Spare - Miranda Dubner premise: Gay Prince Harry - amusingly very simular to Prince Harry's biopic title, to the point that I mistakenly downloaded it.

Unwind - Neal Shusterman - a YA dystopic about bodily rights

UnWholly - Neal Shusterman - YA dystopic about bodily rights, sequel

Everything is Fucked - A Book about Hope - Mark Mans

The Golden Enclaves - Trilogy - Naomi Novik - Fantasy Realistic Hogwarts

Lost in the Moment and Found - Seanan McGuire - Fantasy Fairy Tale

Field of Dreams (movie) - this has been on the watch with partner list for a while, as a formative memory thing for them.

School:
