The Color Purple
Alice WalkerMelissa ChanAm so grateful to my California public school where we were assigned everything from Alice Walker’s The Color Purple to Richard Wright’s Black Boy (gasp! about a Communist!) to Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451. Speaking of Communists, book banning is what they do.

There Is Nothing for You Here: Finding Opportunity in the Twenty-First Century
Fiona HillMelissa ChanA little late to this read, but thumbs up 👍🏼👍🏼 for Fiona Hill’s THERE IS NOTHING FOR YOU HERE. About so many things, including socio-economic inequality in the UK, US — and Russia. And how populist, autocratic leaders seek to capitalize on these fissures. https://t.co/VUWzoo8Dn0

Assignment China: An Oral History of American Journalists in the People's Republic
Mike ChinoyMelissa Chan"The book is nothing short of a news junkie’s fantasy." Couldn't agree more with this review of @mikechinoy's ASSIGNMENT CHINA, filled with reporters' stories. It does feel like hanging out with a bunch of foreign correspondents at a bar, listening in. https://t.co/6AaZ10EBWy

How to Stand Up to a Dictator: The Fight for Our Future
Maria RessaMelissa ChanHer book paints an overwhelmingly discouraging picture of both global authoritarianism and surveillance capitalism, but it is also a call to action. Ever the optimist, @mariaressa observes that with destruction comes opportunity. "Now we have to decide what we want to create."

Pride and Prejudice
Jane AustenMelissa ChanApparently it’s the 210th anniversary of Jane Austen’s PRIDE AND PREJUDICE — a book I love but which I feel is one of the most misunderstood novels. Way less about romance and more about women making practical decisions about marriage and financial security.
