Sex After . . .: Women Share How Intimacy Changes as Life Changes by Iris Krasnow
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I don't get the bad reviews. What dissatisfied the other readers so miserably? I found it inspiring that so many women achieved soulful sensuality no matter the circumstance. It pays to be assertive if you want anything meaningful in life. In our era, there are so many preventive measures that no one has to endure a miserable sex life. Cheers, Iris Krasnow!!

No Shame in My Game: the Working Poor in the Inner City by Katherine S. Newman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I read this book on my initiative. Judging from the cover, I thought it would be more recent. Still, this glance into the economics of inner-city NYC during the Clinton administration proved fascinating for me. I was a little girl during that time and I recall it as prosperous. Quite sobering now that I know scores of people were suffering mightily. It disappointed me that the author lost touch with Jamal.


It would be glorious if this book received an update.

Inside Out by Demi Moore
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I've always had a fondness for Demi Moore. Nonetheless, I am surprised at what was left out. She barely mentions Passion of Mind, no discussion of The Hunchback of Notre Dame, and a brief interlude about Blame It on Rio. I had hoped to read a robust chapter on her time in Brazil. Blame It on Rio "could never be made today (89)" and indeed, she's honest. In the era following #MeToo, this film definitely would anger feminists and progressives. Maybe I need to sharpen my feminist lens because I get a kick out of this movie every time I watch it. Altogether, this was a pleasant read.

I am grateful Demi Moore is still alive.
