I’ve just read Akala’s Natives and Orwell’s Down and Out, both very good in their own right.
I enjoyed Down and Out in London and Paris, there is something very charming about it. I thought it was an easier read than The Road To Wigan Pier and you can see how the later came to be from reading it. Also, having previously worked as a chef for a good long while it was funny to see very little has changed in almost a century.
I’m halfway through Prisoners of Geography by Tim Marshall - very good so far. I picked these up this morning for the next month or so. Thanks for the recommendation @EB
