Description

I had a lovely conversation with Costa (@NotThatCosta) about all things books. His TikTok account is one of my favourite to follow to hear some fascinating book reviews and recommendations.  Fair to say that after this episode, my 'to be read list' has grown much larger! The books mentioned in this episode includes:

  • 1984, by George Orwell
  • Why Are All the Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria?  by Beverley Tatum
  • Natives: Race and Class in the Ruins of Empire by Akala
  • Unorthodox: The Scandalous Rejection of My Hasidic Roots by Deborah Feldman  
  • Hood Feminism: Notes from the Women White Feminists Forgot
    by Mikki Kendall 
  • Black Boy by Richard Wright 
  • On Connection by Kae Tempest  
  • Don't Touch My Hair by Emma Dabiri 
  • Municipal Dreams: The Rise and Fall of Council Housing by John Boughton 
  • The Extreme Centre by Tariq Ali 
  • Crying in H Mart: A Memoir by Michelle Zauner  
  • black girl, no magic: essays and reflections on living whilst black by Kimberly McIntosh 

Some of our topics discussed were:

  • How did he get into reading books and if there was any book that ignited  his interest?
  • Deciding on the next book to read.
  • Preferring to read books that are under 400 pages
  • How has some of the books he's read, contributed to a broader understanding of cultural and social issues?
  • Has been a book thats challenged his preconceived notions or reconsider a particular topic
  • The topic of 'Self Help Books'
  • Is there a book he finds himself referencing or mentioning to others to others?
  • A book he would recommend for anyone who wants to get into reading?
