Revisiting Lovecraft Country

August 4, 2022Leave a comment

Lovecraft Country is one of my favorite books. If I recall correctly, it was the first fantasy book I ever read, that took place in a world somewhat like our own, where the Black heroes got a happy ending. It's a truly brilliant compilation of all the things I love about the fantasy and sci-fi … Continue reading Revisiting Lovecraft Country

Adventures in Quarantine

Like many of you, during quarantine I found time to develop some new hobbies and revisit old ones. On the old side, I bought a keyboard as a gift to myself on Valentine's Day and have started playing piano again. It's really tapped into my right brain. I didn't realize it, but working at home … Continue reading Adventures in Quarantine

The analyview returns! I got a free copy of Dr. Richard Banks' book, Is Marriage for White People from the professor who advises the BLSA group at Orange Law. It was a good read and surprisingly easy to get through; despite my impending finals, I managed to get through in just a few hours. Thesis … Continue reading Is Marriage for White People?

Thoughts on "Pinstripes & Pearls"

I've been catching up on my favorite sci-fi/fantasy series, but I felt behooved to take a break from werewolves, witches and vampires to read something law school related. At the library I stumbled across a real gem. Pinstripes & Pearls by Judith Richard Hope is the fascinating tale of the women of the Harvard Law Class … Continue reading Thoughts on "Pinstripes & Pearls"
