The Theory of the Leisure Class (Modern Library Classics)
Thorstein Veblen, Alan Wolfe
Zahrah the Windseeker - Nnedi Okorafor-Mbachu This was a really sweet book about a young girl born with “dada-locks” (dreadlocks with vines growing through them). Her hair marks her as different and just a little fey, which makes her an outsider. She and her best friend decide to explore The Forbidden Greeny Jungle, and have strange and dangerous encounters. Zahrah lives in a tree city, where people grow computers out of plant seeds and grow buildings instead of building them. Her world is far more interesting than the book itself, which is marked as YA but is really more a children’s book.
