"Back to reading. It's easier to read now that the military here isn't killing people... I pinned down why I don't like it that much: I am missing my favorite voice, Minerva. Not sure why Alvarez decided to leave her voice out for so long." — Apr 21, 2018 04:27PM

"The magic of dystopian novels lies in the fact that you are fooled into thinking it's an extreme fiction, and then BAM! you discover that the premise is something real. This book starts off with the real. I feel like it should've started in the camps in what seems like a crazy extreme future and given us the back story in flashbacks so we can "discover" that it's actually current. Gonna keep reading, though." — Jun 19, 2019 08:17PM

“The first act of violence that patriarchy demands of males is not violence toward women. Instead patriarchy demands of all males that they engage in acts of psychic self-mutilation, that they kill off the emotional parts of themselves. If an individual is not successful in emotionally crippling himself, he can count on patriarchal men to enact rituals of power that will assault his self-esteem.”

“No other group in America has so had their identity socialized out of existence as have black women... When black people are talked about the focus tends to be on black men; and when women are talked about the focus tends to be on white women.”

“For most people, what is so painful about reading is that you read something and you don't have anybody to share it with. In part what the book club opens up is that people can read a book and then have someone else to talk about it with. Then they see that a book can lead to the pleasure of conversation, that the solitary act of reading can actually be a part of the path to communion and community.”
