lb_leeWe have some books to give away! Same rules as last time; first come first served, you pay shipping. Domestic preferred, if only because shipping overseas is horrendous.
Poems of Fernando Pessoa. Little known outside his native Portugal, Pessoa "the multiplex early twentieth-century European poet" and his heteronyms made quite a lot of poetry, most of which was only discovered after Pessoa's death in the 1920s. This book contains poetry from Pessoa himself, along with his heteronyms Alberto Caeiro, Alvaro de Campos, Ricardo Reis, and Bernando Soares, who were only the tip of the heteronymic iceberg. For the sake of multi history, I tried to read it, but apparently my inability to enjoy most poetry holds true even for this guy.
The Two Revolutions: A History of the Transgender Internet by Avery Dame-Griff. What it says on the tin. I want to read this eventually, so this might be more of an "I give it to you with the promise that I'm allowed to borrow it and read it sometime in the future," but I already lived through the trans/trans-/trans* wars and am in no hurry to reread them.
This one is a paper book we are NOT giving away, but Dr. Paris Williams's Rethinking Madness: Towards a Paradigm Shift in Our Understanding And Treatment of Psychosis is a very good book with a truly abominable cover and a free PDF version. Reading it gave me a lot of insight into my own mental workings, and when I'm not a phlegm monster of plague, I hope to post more about it. For now, I link and rec it to y'all!
