Educated: A Memoir
Tara Westover’s life was anything but textbook growing up in the Idaho Mountains to survivalist parents. Her father, an anti-establishment junkyard owner, prepared his family for end times – stock piling fuel, ammunition, and canned goods. While Tara’s mother, a midwife and herbalist, often put her children at risk to be a subservient wife.
By seventeen, Tara had never set foot inside a classroom due to her father’s distrust of the education system; but with the determination to learn, she taught herself enough math, grammar, and science to pass the ACT and was accepted to Brigham Young University.
As Tara’s thirst for knowledge grew and she found herself studying at some of the world’s most prestigious universities, one questioned reigned. Was she willing to sacrifice everything she knew from her former life to learn about what she didn’t?
Conversations on Writing by Ursula K. Le Guin
Before multi-award winning author Ursula K. Le Guin passed away in January of this year, she made one final contribution to the world of literature by publishing a short series of interviews on writing with writer and radio host, David Naimon. In Conversations on Writing, Le Guin gives insight into writing across different genres, but expresses her fear that publishers show more interest in publishing books for profit, rather than writing quality. Le Guin also discusses the importance of fostering children’s imaginations, but she sadly laments our lack of teaching writing skills in educational systems.
Naimon’s ability to extrapolate Le Guin’s knowledge makes for a great book that all readers will enjoy.
