Book Recommendations

This is where I'm keeping track of everything that I've been reading actively. I'm choosing not to count books I pick up, read the first few chapters, say I'll get around to it later, and never pick up again. To see all of those, take a look at my Storygraph profile

  • The AI Con - Emily M. Bender and Alex Hanna

    If you've ever met me in person, you know I'm an AI hater. This book cuts through the sensationalism and asks readers to think about the who, what, and why of the "AI" craze. 4/5

    AI, Technology, Labor Rights, Ecological Justice
  • The Will to Change - bell hooks

    "We get it kib, you're a feminist." But seriously, this book is important for anyone looking to explore the way that patriarchy hurts human relationships for everyone. Not just men.

    Feminism, Patriarchy, Theory
  • Teaching to Transgress - bell hooks

    Another seminal work from hooks. If you ever plan on taking any kind of teaching role, this book is worth a read.

    Education, Teaching, Feminism
  • Academic Writing as if Readers Matter - Leonard Cassuto

    There are only so many different books on writing a scholar can read before they go crazy. Only pick a few, and stick with those. This book should be a candidate for your arsenal, because it lays out a framework for thinking about scholarly writing that emphasizes the relationship you build with your reader. A worthy framing, especially during a time where AI slop is already flooding academia.
