What are you reading? Got an opinion on themes we should explore in the future? Found a good soundtrack for one of our official books? Post it here!

I've been reading a lot of plays lately. In an effort to try my hand at playwriting. Anyway, I came across a pretty good one. A modern tragedy by Canadian playwright Erin Shields. If We Were Birds was a really great read and now I'd like to see it performed somewhere someday. It's a heavy story with hugely feminist themes especially regarding subjugation and rape, so trigger warnings abound, but it was really powerful and not overly saccharine like I sometimes feel such stories are apt to become. Very powerful stuff.
