Better Living Through Birding

Black, Gay, Nerd, Birder and very thoughtful. I learned a lot from this book and Cooper's perspectives on oppression

A reminder that even an ordinary life is not really ordinary; the details of Cooper's adventures in and out of birding are interesting and the eventual recounting of the Central Park incident and its aftermath, as well as Cooper's thoughts about it are well earned. It made me wish for more unexpectedly great deeply personal stories, but they would all have to live up to this very high bar. An extra star for the audiobook, which was fantastic.
