I absolutely love the writing of bell hooks. Where has she been all my life?

    As platitude-ridden as the book is, All About Love is an honestly uplifting, realistic book. I’m actually listening to the Diane Rehm show featuring bell hooks right now. I didn’t know I could.

    She is truly phenomenal. I, for one, need to read more. :)

    Suggestions?
