If Books were the road to complete happiness I'd take it

I've always been a bit of a bookworm. I lived in a different world from everyone else until I started dating. I still read a little bit then though, but not as much as usual because I was so fascinated with love. Then I went to college and got tangled up with a social life.

Now I'm in a phase in my life where I like where my life is headed. Even though I am content of where I am at with life, I still feel like something is missing. This summer I took two English classes and rediscovered my passion for reading. I have myself a 'feminist library' that I started this fall when I decided to change my major. All of them I have not started, here is my collection and what I am going to read to feed my hunger for 'something else' in my life. I'm hoping that it spices up my blog posts and helps me feed that small part of my belly that never seems to get completely full.

The Compassionate Carnivore
Pornland
Finish the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo Series
The Street
For Colored Girls
Invisible Man
The Bluest Eye
Feminism and Pop Culture
Our Guys
The Scarlett Letter
Do It Anyway

I don't know if you noticed. But these books may or may not have anything to do with feminism. But I like to include all sorts of experiences when I think of feminism. I do believe we can not have equality of the sexes and genders until we have equality from every other group in the world. So if you have a recommendation of a good fiction or non-fiction book or author that would help me think in a different perspective, please let me know. =]

(This was coincidental that I started this new goal for myself the day that the last Harry Potter movie came out!)
