I believe I have not yet in 2011 read a book by a nondisabled white heterosexual man. If I keep this up until 2014 I might just about balance out my Oxford English degree....
Tiger Hills - Sarita Mandanna
Hero - Perry Moore
A Thousand Splendid Suns - Khaled Hosseini (Oh god I loved this so, so, so much. I'm really quite in love with Khaled Hosseini.)
The Reluctant Fundamentalist - Mohsin Hamid (This was on offer with the Khaled Hosseini in a train station book shop. I am SO GLAD I picked it up. It does really, really clever things with reader response theory and narrative. I have many thinky thoughts about it and would love to write it up properly at some point).
Telling Stories to Change the World: Global Voices on the Power of Narrative to Build Communities and Make Social Justice Claims - ed Rickie Solinger, Madeline Fox, Kayhan Irani
Sociology: The Basics - Ken Plummer
I wanted to read more of: Books by disabled people; books by women of colour, especially queer women of colour; black, queer, and disabled performance studies; black, queer, and disabled sociology; Jewish queer women.
