Oprah Winfrey and ‘Caste’; Gay Couple Viciously Beaten In Israel; Ryan Field Books

Oprah Winfrey and the Book Caste

Oprah Winfrey…and her best friend Gayle…is on another one of her kicks about that never ending book club she has been forcing down out throats for years. And this time she’s crying, again.

Oprah Winfrey has announced that “Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents” by Isabel Wilkerson is not only her latest pick for Oprah’s Book Club, but that it “might be the most important book” she has ever chosen.

Such high drama! Unfortunately, the book could be wonderful. But the odds are I will never know. There are times when celebrity endorsements can also backfire on authors.

Here’s more.

Gay Couple Viciously Beaten In Israel

Here’s yet another very hard story to read about a gay couple in Israel.

Video of a horrific attack on a gay couple in Israel has gone viral. The footage shows a group of men beating a gay man as hundreds of bystanders watched…and did nothing.

Here’s a link for the rest. You can watch the video there, too.

Altered Parts

What readers said about Kendle’s Fire.

While the book is easily readable, it also addresses emotions stereotypes and relationships. I would have preferred it be 3 times as long and tragically most guys don’t find happy endings as depicted.. but in a short book, it provides food for thought, clarity and insight.. far more and better expressed than 99% of gay fiction . I don’t think it could have been done better.
