Has anyone taken the Challenge?

In February 2015, K. Tempest Bradford issued A Challenge: Stop Reading White Straight Cis Male Authors for One Year.

Did any of you try that? Or something close?

If you're still looking for things to read, there's a list at the bottom of that article, or you can subscribe to Tempest's web series on her Challenge page.

I sometimes post reviews of what I'm reading on Goodreads. I will try to make more mentions of things here.

What are you reading?

What did you read in the past year that maybe changed your perspective on things?

I read No Name in the Street last year, essays regarding his experiences with the civil rights movement.

I read Giovanni's Room this year. A good character piece, told from the perspective of a bisexual man.
