I’m interested in a multitude of things, including social justice, socialism, history, poetry, magical realism (fiction), capitalism, race and class struggle, plus stuff like wine, baseball and music.
So mostly non-fiction, though I read maybe two novels per year and maybe one poetry collection.

The author looks for traces of the young Ho Chi Minh in Paris, where he'd spent much of his twenties. But the past of the eventual leader of Vietnamese communism seemed largely invisible. Still, the author makes the search interesting. A short read.

This book is chock full of info about winemaking processes, regional laws and classifications, wine tasting and serving etiquette. It also contains a large section detailing the prominent grapes and types of wine grown in each winemaking country. Very recommended.
The only negative from my perspective is that editing could have improved the readability of the text somewhat.

An excellent book. Thought-provoking, and written in a style that's serious and direct and yet, accessible. While it was published forty years ago, I feel like all the issues she discusses are still with us. Hence it's continued pertinence.
