Good news. The Laurence McKinley Gould Library at Carleton College in Northfield, MN (my father went there) is now reopened to fully vaccinated members of the community, for them to meet in, peruse the shelves and enjoy. (Get your shots.)
Every year I contribute to the James W. and Barbara F. Lamberton Memorial Book Fund and this year the fund purchased the following books, among others:
All-American Rebels: The American Left from the Wobblies to Today by Robt. Cottrell;
Apocalypse Man: The Death Drive and the Rhetoric of White Masciline Victimhood by Casey Kelly;
Disability: A Reference Handbook by Michael Rembis;
Hooked: Food, Free Will, and How the Food Giants Exploit Our addictions by Michael Moss;
Kill Switch: The Rise of the Modern Senate and the Crippling of American Democracy by Adam Jentleson;
LGBTQ Health Research: Theory, Methods, Practice;
Neoliberal Nationalism: Immigration and the Rise of the Populist Right by Christian Lopke;
Queer Studies: Beyond Binaries by Bruce Henderson;
Slaves Among Us: The Hidden World of Human Trafficking by Monique Vera;
The Decline of Marriage in Nambia Kinship and Social Class In a Rural Community by Julia Pauli;
Transgender Body Politics by Heather Brunskell-Evans; and
Tyranny of Greed: Trump, Corruption, and the Revolution to Come by Tim Kuhner.
Couldn't you just dive into any or all of these books? But do I detect a certain dystopian predilection to the list?
