  ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
  "A Painted House" by John Grisham tells the story of a seven-year-old boy named Luke Chandler, who lives on a cotton farm in rural Arkansas in 1952. The narrative follows Luke as his world is disrupted by the arrival of migrant workers, both hill people and Mexicans, to help with the cotton harvest. This influx of new people brings about conflict, as well as friendships and secrets. The story explores themes of family, community, and the complexities of good and evil, all through the eyes of a child. Luke experiences a loss of innocence as he witnesses violence and grapples with mature issues beyond his years, and the story includes secrets, murder, and running away. The narrative also delves into the social and cultural differences of the time, and the challenges faced by a rural family trying to hold on to tradition, while also trying to move on. The book includes a family that loves baseball, and a main character who is learning to write.

  Get It Out - On the Politics of...

  At least one hysterectomy is performed every minute of the year, making it the most common gynecological surgery worldwide. By the age of sixty-five, one out of five people born with a uterus will have it removed. So, why do we seldom talk about this surgery? Highly performed yet overlooked, examining the paradox of hysterectomy begins to unravel the various problems with how we medically treat uteruses and the people who have them. 
   
   
   
  Get It Out weaves centuries of medical history with rich qualitative data from 100 women, trans men, and nonbinary people who had, want, or are considering hysterectomy. In compelling detail, Andréa Becker reveals how America’s healthcare system routinely deprives people of the ability to control their own bodies along race and gender lines. When people ask for a hysterectomy, they are often met with pushback: Are you sick enough? Old enough? Have you had enough babies? Will you regret this? How will your future husband feel about this? Yet this pushback is not equally experienced. While some people are barred access, others are ushered toward a hysterectomy. These contradictory recommendations reveal the persistent biases entrenched within healthcare. 
   
   
   
  Get It Out interrogates how little choice people with uteruses ultimately have over their reproductive health, and explores what these "choices" signify amid interlocking systems of inequality.

  ABOUT THIS BOOK 
  Who has not tried to follow a diet to lose a little weight or get fitter? Although for many the focus of a diet is to improve your figure, the reality is that carrying out a caloric restriction is a well-established method that serves much more. It has been proven, for example, that it significantly improves heart health and even helps delay aging. 
    
  Given all the benefits, what is really the best way to restrict our calories? 
    
  Recently, the scientific and nutritional community has discovered that fasting on alternate days can be more effective than traditional diets that many find difficult to maintain. In addition, it also provides a series of additional health benefits, it contributes to better immunity because it provides the body with the necessary conditions to fight infections and diseases. 
    
  Alternate day fasting is a form of intermittent fasting where, as the name suggests, people eat every other day (every 24 to 36 hours) and one day off. By its nature, the best thing about this fast is that it is very easy to follow, and anyone can try it.
