Will To Change - bell hooks
Really great read so far. Some standout quotes: ~ "Like many males, he had not been happy in most of the relationships he had chosen. The unhappiness of men in relationships, the grief men feel about the failure of love, often goes unnoticed in our society precisely because the patriarchal culture really does not care if men are unhappy." ~ "The reality is that men are hurting and that the whole culture responds to them by saying, "Please do not tell us what you feel." ~ "Yet life has shown me that any time a single male dares to transgress patriarchal boundaries in order to love, the lives of women, men, and children are fundamentally changed for the better." ~ "To create loving men, we must love males. Loving maleness is different from praising and rewarding males for living up to sexist-defined notions of male identity. Caring about men because of what they do for us is not the same as loving males for simply being. When we love maleness, we extend our love whether males are performing or not. Performance is different from simply being. In patriarchal culture males are not allowed simply to be who they are and to glory in their unique identity. Their value is always determined by what they do. In an antipatriarchal culture males do not have to prove their value and worth. They know from birth that simply being gives them value, the right to be cherished and loved."

Just finished rereading Mortality by Christopher Hitchens.
A stark, unflinching meditation on death, written with his signature wit and clarity. Facing terminal illness, Hitchens confronts mortality not with despair, but with fierce intellect and honesty. A profound reminder of the power of reason and the human spirit in the face of the inevitable.
