Given the current state of, well, everything, it seemed like a good time to revisit the brilliant bell hooks. Organized from oldest to newest book, the selection includes must read classics and a few others that seemed particularly relevant for the years and decades to come. Regardless of how slow or fast you read the books, I recommend going in chronological order son you can see how her writing changed over the years.
