Some books make me want to scream and write poetry and give the whole universe a hug, this is one of them

I got ambitious about my course literature and thought I was going to read this the whole way through for clout lmao. Might come back to it, I really liked the chapters I read and the writing style was pretty fun for a history book actually. Would recommend to anyone intrigued by the subject, this is definitely up there when it comes to the course literature I've read.

I’m not the kind of person that normally goes out of their way to read essays on politics but Coates makes me wish I was. Sometimes I forget that I love to read, and texts like these remind me of how writing can be an art that is a privilege to be able to partake in.

The nostalgia I feel regarding this is completely blinding me to any faults I cannot be objective about this, this book fucks

This gave me comfort when not much did. And it got me to rediscover the wonder that is a library and how it feels to sit and read in a good armchair for nothing but the want of reading.
