I’m sure you are all familiar with the advice of “three things not to talk about at a dinner party: religion, politics and race.” Well, I have something of a perverse sense of humor, I admit. So, here is a current picture of my bookshelf, completely visible to any unsuspecting guest who may come to visit (I don’t really cook, so they wouldn’t be coming for dinner. But, maybe drinks!):
From right to left, the titles are:
- Words of Fire, An Anthology of African-American Feminist Thought
- Women Filmmakers of the African and Asian Diaspora
- When Chickenheads Come Home to Roost: A Hip-hop Feminist Breaks It Down
- The Way Home: Beyond Feminism, Back to Reality
- Quiverfull: Inside the Christian Patriarchy Movement
- Child Abuse Industry
- The Holy Bible
- The Communist Manifesto
- Marx and Engels on Religion
Are you like me? Do you take perverse joy in placing provocative (or scandalous!) reading material in plain view? Ever forgotten about them until poor Grandma came to visit? If so, submit your photo (re-arranging for purposes of this contest is allowed) or, if you don’t have the books anymore, your best story about your inappropriate reading habits and the hilarity and/or awkward moments that ensued! Best submission will win the honor of declaring yourself “Most Inappropriate Crasstalk Book Owner Of 2011” (trophy and certificate not included in award).
