The Sum of Us: What Racism Costs Everyone and How We Can Prosper Together | Heather McGhee

pick

The Sum of Us was enraging in the best ways and really eye opening about some things I never thought of... like why we had to pay $120 each summer for season pool passes when I was growing up.

GingerAntics This book was also beautifully written and surprisingly hopeful. This is a fight that feels SO big and so intertwined with every part of our society that is easy to lose hope and feel like our country has no chance to be anything else. McGhee does a brilliant job of keeping things upbeat and even wrapping up with signs of hope. 3w

GingerAntics Also, this is read by the author, which always makes books that much better! HIGHLY recommend this book; a real joy to read, full of great information and so many important things to learn. This would be a wonderful conversation starter. Should be required reading for everyone. 3w

The Great Oom: The Mysterious Origins of America's First Yogi | Robert Love

As I try to finish book 1 of #WhartonBuddyRead find myself thinking Edith was up to speed about Perry Baker who renamed himself Dr. Pierre Bernard bringing yoga to America. Lots of scandal & running from the law , criticism from clergy,etc. And was it sex cult? I‘m not sure, still on my TBR .

Lcsmcat, Graywacke

Lcsmcat Oooh, intriguing. You‘ll have to report back after you read it! 4w

Graywacke I don‘t know anything about this. Cool! 4w

A trilogy finish that‘s been on my tbr & physical shelves for way too long. Because it‘s been years😬since I read the preceding instalments so, this was basically read as a stand alone. I very much enjoyed it as much as the others. Strong characters with zing to go with a great storyline.

Travels with Charley in Search of America: (Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition) | John Steinbeck

1. I learned how to drive a car on a manual. My dad took us to a local street, parked on a hill, and then said, “ok, now drive.” 😖 Anyone who has ever driven stick knows that once you have mastered the art of not rolling backwards on an incline, you‘re golden. 😀
2. Had to tag this book. Although it was a van, not a car. That still counts, right?

HettyG My dad dropped the keys to his old truck with a standard transmission to me at my job bagging groceries and told me to get myself home! 😂 3mo

Crazeedi That's how I taught my girls to drive a standard! Lol 3mo

Amiable @HettyG Needs must, am I right? 😄 I learned on a car that had the stick on the steering column — or as it was known back then, a “three on the tree.” 🤷🏻‍♀️ (edited) 3mo

Amiable @Crazeedi I taught my boys how to drive first and THEN showed them how to work a stick. My father just went straight for the manual — guess he figured it would save time. 😄 3mo

TheSpineView Thanks for playing! 3mo

BethM @Amiable my dad too- straight for the stick. Lots and lots of tears and yelling 😂 now stick is my preference lol 3mo

Amiable @BethM OMG, that first time was a bitch, wasn‘t it? It‘s been 40 years and I still remember it like it was yesterday. 😄 3mo
