The Sellout by Paul Beatty

What made me buy the book – the name of the book, and the tag line

What I liked about the book – the audacity, vision of the writer – and a master class in writing

Who will I recommend the book to – anyone who’d like to laugh and have something to think about when they have read it

What did the book teach me – it’s all a cycle, isn’t it? Black become the new white, dalit become the new brahmin, oppressed become the oppressor and so on. It’s after all about who’s in minority – they rule.

The Diary Of A Young Girl by Anne Frank

What made me buy the book – I’ve heard about the holocaust and the circumstances under which she wrote it. I wanted to know more of her mind

What I liked about the book – brevity, honesty, and lucidity

Who will I recommend the book to – anyone who can read

What did the book teach me – it is, indeed, the little things that matter
