If a school indoctrinates students in a political ideology, then should it receive public funding?

I've finished: The Saint of Bright Doors by Vajra Chandrasekera

This is a story about revenge, about revolution, about the power to change the world, about an anti-hero who wants to escape his destiny.

It is a story of myth, of political philosophy, of religion, of racism, of classism, of pogroms and oppression.

There is a creation myth, there is a fractured city, there is a plague, there are doors to nowhere, there is a support group for unchosen ones, and at the center of it all there is Fetter, Who just wants to make a normal life for himself. But there are more forces trying to manipulate him into action than he suspects.

There is so much here, I'm sure I missed allot of cultural and historical references, but at it's core, this is a book about an autocrat that needs to be stopped and at it's center is a reluctant anti-hero and it is brilliantly written.

Books with playlists. 🎧🎶🎵

I read a book over the weekend called The Mixtape by Brittainy C. Cherry. It was an awesome book. There were a lot of song references, and I did a search to find that the songs had been put in a spotify playlist. I've always loved the idea of books that have playlists, and now I'm looking for books that do this. Any recommendations? I've also started listening to lo-fi music while reading and doing computer stuff. Any spotify playlist recommendations for music to read to would be awesome! #bookRecommendations #books #AmReading #bookstodon @bookstodon @romancelandia
