Come On People: On the Path from Victims to Victors by Bill Cosby and Alvin Poussaint

Recently read

God Save the Fan: How Preening Sportscasters, Athletes Who Speak in the Third Person, and the Occasional Convicted Quarterback Have Taken the Fun Out of Sports (And How We Can Get It Back) by Deadspin’s Will Leitch. Rating: 3.5/5. Hilarious, funny rants that can be appreciated by people like myself who are sports fans but not to the level of the kind of sports junkie who calls into radio shows.

The Wentworths by Katie Arnoldi. Rating: 4/5 - Weird and perverted, like her other great book Chemical Pink

Reading right now
True Enough: Learning to Live in a Post-Fact Society by Farhad Manjoo. Explains using science why Republicans (and others) are dumb enough to accept what they watch on Fox News or read on some random guys blog without question.
