S2E5: This episode is all about the Classics. Starting with our middle school days and then going into our high school curriculums and beyond, we share our memorable experiences with some of the most widely read books in western literature. Not only do we talk about the books we loved, liked, and really didn’t like, but we also take the time to call out the overwhelming presence of white male authors among the required reading lists of US high schools. To end on a modern note, we share our takes on the books that we feel have the potential to turn into classics in the years to come.
Head to Instagram to see our full Master List of the Classics that we have enjoyed and recommend.
