It hasn’t been easy being Michael Arceneaux. Equality for LGBTQ people has come a long way and all, but voices of persons of color within the community are still often silenced, and being Black in America is...well, have you watched the news? With the characteristic wit and candor that have made him one of today’s boldest writers on social issues, I Can’t Date Jesus is Michael Arceneaux’s impassioned, forthright, and refreshing look at minority life in today’s America.

It did inspire
Revisado: 03-28-22
The author finishes the book by saying he aims at inspiring and be inspired. He did just that for me. His focus and ethics at succeeding are remarkable. I also loved how candid he was. I have been trying to concentrate my reading on work by black writers and was attracted to the title because I am an atheist. First few chapters made me laugh but ended up learning quite a bit about Mr Arceneaux’s generation, life style, likes and dislikes. Authors generally fail at reading their own work but, despite mumbling some, he did just fine. I wish him much success.

What happened to Islamic reform? Why have al Qaeda and Boko Haram become the faces of contemporary Islam? Why has the Arab Spring devolved into a battle over sharia law? Continuing her personal journey from a deeply religious Islamic upbringing to a post at Harvard and American citizenship, the New York Times best-selling author of Infidel and Nomad crafts a powerful call for an Islamic reformation as the only way to end the current wave of global violence and repression of women.

Extremist?
Revisado: 05-03-16
Absolutely not. Western liberals, Muslims, and world leaders would benefit from reading her very rational account as to why Islam needs reforming. Ayan is brave, realistic, and a genius in pointing out why the measures currently taken to abolish terrorism are failing.

This cultural history and memoir of stage fright will resonate with anyone terrified of speaking or performing in public. Stage fright is one of the human psyche's deepest fears, challenging actors, musicians, professional athletes, and people from all walks of life. Surveys in the United States repeatedly rank public speaking as one of the top fears, affecting up to 74 percent of people.

Perfection or excellence?
Revisado: 08-27-15
Fifteen minutes into this book I asked myself if there was anything else to be said (or heard). I don’t have stage fright and was not particularly interested on the topic itself. But, “Action is the key to success” has always been my favorite maxim, so I was curious as to how someone deals with an impediment (that seems so unreal) to fulfilling his or her dreams and do what they love or want to do. Sara Solovitch touches on everything you can think of about the subject not boring you with one chapter on this, and another on that. Her odyssey with stage fright is told in a very resolute style and is intertwined with interviews with people of all kinds of background, scientific research, feedback from psychotherapists, and more.
Engineers and statisticians account for error, tolerance and noise in their designs and data analyses. Why not artists? “Perfection is not only an illusion: it’s boring!” I love that.

Thank you, Mr. Lee!

I will wait a year and listen to it again. That is how much I enjoyed this classic as an audiobook read by John Lee, who never disappoints.
