 One of my unimportant "hobbies' is watching--comes from my erstwhile profession---how writers "move" in the cultural ether. Or how I think I see them move...(with Google analytics now one can actually get some loose stats if wanted)
Watching Ms Le Guin get canonized (sic) in Amer Lit history has been very rewarding....from L of A thru so much attention, quoting, being alluded to---thatgreat story of the suffering of children for example.....

The book takes up top down economics, deep state machinations and an expose of  the dark underbelly of Milton Friedman’s theories. This is a book several men have tried to write and failed.

>> Easily I can say the majority of my personal library is written by men and I'd like to even up the male/female ratio, this seems like a sensible place to turn for suggestions.  I'm open to any non-fiction (philosophy, history, (auto)biographies, feminism (theory/lectures), etc.) or any fiction (classics, horror, sci-fi/adventure/fantasy, etc.) as well as kids books or anything else you think is worth sharing.
